What it does
Cotiviti is a modern healthcare analytics platform focused on payment integrity and clinical quality for US health plans. The company was formed in May 2014 through a merger of Connolly (founded 1979) and iHealth Technologies, combining two decades of claims-audit expertise under a single platform.
Ownership and funding. Cotiviti was taken public by Advent International in May 2016 on the NYSE under ticker CVTY at $19 per share. In 2018, Veritas Capital (via Verscend) acquired the company for $4.9B in cash. In February 2024, Cotiviti announced a recapitalization with KKR and Veritas Capital as equal co-sponsors, in a deal valued at $10-11B. The transaction closed on May 2, 2024, making it a rare large-cap healthcare analytics platform under multi-sponsor private ownership.
Customer reach and product footprint. Cotiviti serves 200+ healthcare payers and health systems, including all of the top 25 US health plans, representing over 110 million covered lives. Named customers include Blue Cross Blue Shield plans in Texas, New Jersey, and North Dakota. The platform combines four core solution suites: (1) Payment Accuracy for prospective and retrospective claims review across inpatient DRGs, outpatient services, and skilled nursing; (2) Risk Adjustment powered by DxCG Intelligence for member risk scoring and care management; (3) Quality Intelligence for HEDIS measurement and Stars reporting (25 consecutive years of HEDIS Measure Certification); and (4) Medical Intelligence integrating clinical rules, utilization patterns, and claims-based quality metrics.
Analyst recognition. Everest Group named Cotiviti the highest-designated Leader in its Payment Integrity Solutions PEAK Matrix Assessment for 2025 (third consecutive year in this position). Chilmark Research includes Cotiviti in their Healthcare Payer Analytics Market Trends analysis. The company reported preventing or correcting over $9.5B in improper claims during 2024.
Legacy comparison. Most customers transitioned from point solutions (standalone payment integrity vendors) or from legacy claims-audit workflows relying on manual chart review. Cotiviti positions retrospective (postpay) solutions alongside prospective (prepay) claims review, as postpay solutions capture complex claims that prepay rule engines cannot handle within time and data constraints.
