Working across multiple medical specialties and primary care, we seek to ensure that care plans align with clinical evidence, respect members’ goals and preferences, and connect seamlessly across providers and settings. We believe that every person deserves the same level of care and compassion we would want for our loved ones. Evolent serves a national base of leading payers, including managed Medicaid, Medicare Advantage and commercial health plans. Through a comprehensive suite of resources—such as high-value clinical pathways, electronic decision support and value-based payment models—we create an ecosystem that helps providers deliver better, more affordable care to their patients. Tens of millions of Americans have access to our clinical expertise through their plans. WHY WORK HERE? We strive to create a work experience that strikes the perfect balance: the opportunity to do impactful, purposeful work, the chance to collaborate with some of the smartest minds in health care, and the flexibility to balance work and personal life.
