The LEAD ACO RFA is now open. Application deadline: May 17, 2026. Talk to Pathways today.

More than an ACO.
Your healthcare business partner.

We're the team behind your team -- coordinating care, managing complexity, and keeping your patients connected to you across the hospital, the SNF, and the home.

You can't be everywhere your patients need you.

Your patients are admitted at 2 AM. They're discharged to a SNF across town. They miss follow-ups because no one called. They struggle at home because no one checked in.

You want to provide that care. You just can't be in three places at once. That's where Pathways comes in.

Patient acquisition and community engagement

Better care. Stronger practices. Healthier communities.

Our mission is to empower independent physicians to deliver the kind of care they went into medicine to provide -- while building practices that thrive in a value-based world. When your practice succeeds, your patients succeed, and the entire community benefits.

Affiliate Model

Most of our network is composed of independent, affiliate practices. You keep your name, your staff, your identity. We provide the infrastructure.

All In From Day One

We operate at full risk -- the Global track. That's not bravado, it's conviction. We have the infrastructure, the data, and the team to deliver.

Business Partner

Beyond ACO services, we help with practice operations, revenue cycle, compliance, and growth. We succeed when your practice succeeds.

Built to outperform. Not outsourced.

While other ACOs rely on off-the-shelf analytics, Pathways built its own intelligence platform from the ground up.

A

ALICE

ACO Intelligence Engine

ALICE is our AI-powered clinical intelligence system embedded directly within the ACO Operating System. It transforms raw CMS claims data into actionable clinical insights -- in real time, at the patient level.

  • 9-segment Comprehensive Patient Analysis
  • HCC gap detection with RAF impact projections
  • AHRQ PQI preventable admission identification
  • Claims-based care gap detection and closure tracking
  • AI-enhanced clinical recommendations

ACO-OS

ACO Operating System

The operational backbone that integrates CMS claims data, clinical workflows, financial analytics, and quality reporting into a single platform purpose-built for accountable care.

  • Automated CCLF data processing and validation
  • CMS benchmark reconciliation and settlement tracking
  • PMPM trending and cost variance analysis
  • Episode grouping with fragmentation scoring
  • AWV eligibility tracking and quality dashboards

This is why we operate at full risk with confidence -- and why our partner practices benefit from insights no other ACO can match.
