WESTERVILLE, Ohio--agilon health Inc. $(AGL)$ announced the publication of new peer-reviewed research in the May 16, 2025, issue of the JAMA Health Forum. The study examines gender differences among primary care physicians (PCPs) in the context of value-based care $(VBC.AU)$ models and their impact on patient outcomes, healthcare utilization, and physician revenue. Conducted across 15 practice groups in seven states, the study included 872 PCPs, 40% of whom were women, and analyzed data from approximately 225,000 Medicare Advantage patients. Findings indicate that patients managed by women PCPs in agilon's Total Care Model experienced equal or better clinical and quality outcomes with less healthcare utilization. Additionally, women physicians earned more per patient under the VBC model. The study highlights the potential of agilon's VBC model to address the gender pay gap and improve patient care outcomes.
