The recognition and ascent into the Leader category reflects Claritev's longstanding history and continued investment in technology-enabled payment integrity that helps health plans identify potential billing errors, inconsistencies, and unnecessary costs earlier in the claims process through greater transparency, automation, and clinical precision.

"The modern day healthcare ecosystem can no longer view payment integrity as a collection of point solutions," said Travis Dalton, CEO and President of Claritev. "A disconnected payment integrity landscape can lead to friction in the claims process and growing dissatisfaction by the healthcare consumer. Claritev’s vision of a connected payment integrity ecosystem combines responsible AI, deep clinical expertise, and trusted solutions to help health plans make better decisions across the claim lifecycle. Being recognized as a Leader by Everest Group validates both the strength of our solutions today and the direction we're taking our business."

The recognition comes as health plans increasingly seek partners capable of helping to prevent improper payments earlier in the claims process to help manage medical cost inflation while improving operational efficiency and provider collaboration. Everest Group identifies AI, advanced analytics, automation, and integrated platform capabilities as key technology enablers shaping the future of pre-payment integrity.

Claritev's Payment and Revenue Integrity portfolio spans the full claims lifecycle, combining pre-payment and post-payment capabilities to help clients improve payment accuracy, reduce unnecessary medical costs, and strengthen financial performance. In 2025, Claritev's payment integrity solutions generated approximately $1.8 billion in medical cost savings while serving more than 300 clients across its payment integrity business.

"Our vision extends beyond payment integrity to revenue integrity," said Brad Ross, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Payment & Revenue Integrity Solutions. "By connecting data, technology, and clinical expertise across the healthcare ecosystem, we're helping clients move from recovering payment errors after the fact to preventing them before they occur. Responsible AI is an important accelerator of our vision and reality, and it can augment and complement human expertise, transparency, and accountability."

Claritev continues to invest in next-generation capabilities that combine artificial intelligence with expert clinical review to support accurate, transparent, and scalable payment decisions. These innovations are designed to improve payment accuracy while fostering stronger provider relationships and reducing administrative burden.

"Provider abrasion remains a key issue in pre-payment integrity as payers battle to prevent payment leakage while operating in a high-complexity environment where clinical and coverage rules are continuously evolving and difficult to standardize," says Ankur Verma, Vice President, Everest Group. "Claritev's broad pre-pay value chain coverage and clinical negotiation experience gives it a foundation to support payers on upstream payment accuracy needs. Its investments in Advanced Code Editing, cloud modernization, re-engineered AI/ML-enabled platforms, and payment-acceleration capabilities further strengthen its data foundation and payer-provider infrastructure. Client recognition for Claritev's flexibility, collaboration, and account management further contributed to its positioning as a Leader in Everest Group's Pre-payment Integrity Solutions PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2026."

The Everest Group PEAK Matrix® Assessment evaluates providers based on market impact, vision, and capability within the rapidly evolving pre-payment integrity market.
