Cotiviti

Healthcare payment accuracy analytics provider

Overview

Cotiviti provides healthcare data analytics and payment integrity services for health plans, providers, and retailers. It uses analytics and technology to review medical claims before and after payment to identify improper or duplicate payments, validate coding, and recover overpayments. The company combines capabilities from its predecessors (Connolly and iHealth Technologies) into a single end-to-end platform for pre-payment and post-payment review, enabling more accurate, efficient claims processing. Compared with competitors, Cotiviti leverages its large-scale data assets, extensive experience in healthcare payer analytics, and a broad, end-to-end workflow that covers the full lifecycle of claims payment and audit. Its goal is to reduce waste and abuse in the U.S. healthcare system by improving payment accuracy and recovering improper payments across the claims process.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • August 2026 Proactive COB shifts recovery left, reducing overpayments before claims adjudication.
  • September 2026 contract-compliance expansion opens manufacturing and hospitality revenue beyond healthcare.
  • Ric Sinclair's March 2026 appointment and Erin Schmuker's September 2026 hire sharpen execution.

What critics are saying

  • Cotiviti's September 2026 AI push heightens governance and cybersecurity exposure across payer workflows.
  • Healthcare payers already internalize payment integrity; UnitedHealthcare and Optum pressure pricing and retention.
  • If Edifecs integration slips, KKR and Veritas lose platform leverage and exit optionality.

What makes Cotiviti unique

  • Cotiviti spans pre-payment, post-payment, and retail audits across 300 million covered lives.
  • Edifecs adds interoperability and CMS payer workflow depth, widening its system-level platform.
  • URAC-accredited, AI-enabled workflows combine proprietary claims data with clinical review and audit trails.

Cotiviti launches AI-enabled Proactive COB to resolve health insurance coordination at enrollment

Cotiviti has launched Proactive COB, a coordination of benefits capability that uses AI to identify health insurance coverage issues at member enrolment, before claims are submitted. The solution analyses enrollment and maintenance transactions to detect coverage discrepancies early, allowing health plans to prevent payment errors rather than recover overpayments after the fact. Traditional COB approaches rely on retrospective discovery methods, often missing errors until after claims are paid. Proactive COB combines AI-driven prioritisation with validated member databases and over 25 years of COB experience to maintain accurate coverage records throughout the benefit lifecycle. The capability operates on enrollment data and supports automated updates to eligibility platforms, reducing manual intervention whilst maintaining audit trails. Cotiviti's platform serves customers covering over 300 million members and patients in the US.
