Direct peers

• Aledade: Aledade partners with independent primary care practices and ACOs to succeed in MSSP, ACO REACH, and other value-based care models, combining technology, analytics, and ACO management services. It is the most direct competitor to HSG's ACO management practice given overlapping customer base and shared focus on ACO performance optimization.
• Privia Health: Privia is a medical group enablement company that helps physician practices transition to and operate under value-based care arrangements, including ACOs and risk-bearing models. It competes with HSG for the same provider customers seeking ACO and VBC strategy and operational support.
• Evolent Health: Evolent partners with health plans and providers on value-based specialty care and population health, including ACO enablement, payer contracting support, and clinical transformation services. It offers a more tech-enabled version of the VBC advisory and risk-bearing entity build services HSG provides.
• Caravan Health (Signify Health): Caravan Health, acquired by Signify Health (now part of CVS), provides ACO formation, management, and population health services to community hospitals and physician groups in MSSP and other CMMI models. It directly competes with HSG's ACO Comprehensive/Advanced/Core offerings for similar provider clients.
• Lumeris: Lumeris is a value-based care platform and services firm that partners with health systems to build ACOs, manage risk, and operate population health programs. It offers a tech-enabled alternative to HSG's pure-consulting ACO management and risk-bearing entity services.

Broad incumbents

• Health Catalyst: Health Catalyst provides healthcare data and analytics infrastructure along with population health and VBC advisory services to health systems. It overlaps with HSG's population health analytics, data infrastructure strategy, and clinical redesign offerings at larger enterprise scale.
• Premier Inc. Premier is a healthcare performance improvement company that provides consulting, collaboratives, and data services to hospitals and health systems on cost, quality, and value-based payment readiness. It competes with HSG on VBC readiness assessments, clinical transformation, and network optimization engagements.
• Optum Advisory Services (UnitedHealth Group): Optum's advisory arm provides healthcare strategy, payer consulting, and value-based care transformation services to providers, payers, and government entities. It is a broad incumbent competing for large health system VBC and ACO engagements HSG also targets.
• McKinsey Healthcare Practice: McKinsey's healthcare practice advises providers, payers, and government health agencies on VBC strategy, ACO design, and payment model transformation. It competes with HSG on the strategic, policy, and large-transformation components of value-based care advisory work.

Emerging players
