About The Oncology Institute, Inc.
About The Oncology Institute, Inc.
The Oncology Institute manages approximately 2.0 million patients under value-based agreements as of December 31, 2025, generating more than 46% of that year's revenue from value-based and capitated contracts rather than traditional fee-for-service billing. The company operates through 65 affiliated clinics (the TOI PCs), 81 independently owned clinics contracted with its managed services organization, and a network of 198 independent providers spanning 17 markets across California, Arizona, Nevada, Florida, and Oregon.
TOI earns revenue across four lines: fee-for-service medical oncology and infusion billed on a CPT-code and cost-plus drug basis; value-based and capitated contracts that pay a fixed per-member-per-month amount and let TOI keep the difference if care costs less, including a full delegation model where TOI also performs utilization management and claims adjudication; specialty pharmacy filling oral, IV, and injectable medications reimbursed by pharmacy benefit managers on a WAC-minus basis; and clinical trial services billed to pharmaceutical companies and contract research organizations. The company's payor relationships span Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and commercial plans, with named counterparties including Anthem, CareMore Health, Heritage Provider Network, and Optum Care. A significant portion of Patient Services revenue depends on a limited number of health insurance, IPA, and medical group payors, while prescription drug sales rely on a number of contracted pharmacy benefit management companies.
Show full overview
TOI's value-based model concentrates financial risk on cost prediction rather than volume: under capitation and full-delegation agreements, the TOI PCs assume the risk that oncology treatment costs exceed the fixed per-member payment, and the 10-K states that approximately 16% of 2025 revenue came specifically from these fixed capitation fees. Because a significant share of Patient Services revenue flows through a limited number of health insurers, IPAs, and medical group companies, the loss of even one of the named counterparties, such as Anthem or Optum Care, from the TOI PCs' provider networks could disproportionately affect revenue relative to a more fragmented payor base.
