The healthcare payment integrity market reached $15.12 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to $17.06 billion in 2026, advancing at a 12.86% CAGR toward $31.25 billion by 2031, according to Mordor Intelligence research. Driving that growth is a persistent claims-error rate of 6.26%, ongoing fraud, waste, and abuse exposure across Medicare and Medicaid, and a market-wide shift from reactive post-payment audits toward pre-payment and pre-claim prevention. For health plans, TPAs, and government payers, the cost of getting payment integrity wrong goes beyond financial leakage. It erodes provider relationships, creates regulatory exposure, and generates administrative friction that compounds year over year. This guide examines 10 leading healthcare payment integrity companies, comparing their capabilities, compliance infrastructure, and ideal use cases to help you choose the right partner in 2026.

#1 Helpware CX
The human operational layer that makes payment integrity programs work
What most payment integrity providers don’t tell you is that their platforms only work as well as the people operating them. Claims auditing, prior authorization review, coordination-of-benefits verification, and medical coding compliance all require trained human judgment at critical decision points. That’s the operational gap Helpware CX fills. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky, Helpware CX delivers HIPAA-compliant back-office healthcare operations across 19 locations in 11 countries, providing health plans, payers, and providers with the trained staffing infrastructure that payment integrity programs depend on.
What that infrastructure looks like operationally: dedicated teams managing prior authorization support, eligibility verification, claims processing accuracy, payer-provider correspondence, and structured data operations that feed into analytics platforms. The compliance architecture is built for healthcare: SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and GDPR certifications with third-party audit verification, 100% call and interaction monitoring across all delivery centers, and agent training protocols designed specifically for the regulatory sensitivity of healthcare billing and payment environments.
The operational metrics matter here as much as anywhere. A 90% CSAT score and a 2.8% monthly attrition rate against an industry average of 6-8% mean the agents processing your claims, handling prior authorization queues, and managing coordination-of-benefits inquiries actually develop expertise in your benefit structures and payer rules. That compounding institutional knowledge is what separates Helpware from staffing-first competitors. Partnerships average 5+ years. The data operations layer includes AI-assisted data annotation and structured clinical data management, which increasingly interfaces with the analytics platforms that pure-play payment integrity software vendors run on top.
Why we picked it
Helpware CX earns the top spot for a specific and honest reason: payment integrity programs are only as accurate as the operational layer beneath the analytics. Trained, stable, HIPAA-certified teams handling prior authorization, eligibility, claims review, and COB services are not optional extras in a payment integrity program. They’re the foundation. For health plans that have invested in analytics platforms but are leaking savings due to operational execution gaps, Helpware’s model addresses that directly, with 4,000+ people, 45+ languages, and a compliance infrastructure built to withstand regulatory audit.
- Services offered: HIPAA-compliant claims processing and review, prior authorization support, eligibility and COB verification, back-office healthcare administration, healthcare data operations, AI data annotation, structured data management, payer-provider correspondence handling
- Pros: 90% CSAT and 2.8% monthly attrition; SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and GDPR certified with third-party audit; 100% call and interaction monitoring; scales from 10 to 200 staff in two weeks; 5+ year average client partnerships; 45+ language capability across 19 delivery centers
- Industry expertise: Healthcare payers and health plans, telehealth, government health programs, pharmaceutical patient support, medical devices
- Best for: Health plans and payers that need HIPAA-compliant operational teams for prior authorization, eligibility verification, claims administration, and COB support to underpin their payment integrity programs
- Pricing: Three flexible models (HW.Talent, HW.Team, HW.Hub) with hourly, subscription, or outcome-based billing. Visit the vendor’s page for detailed pricing.
- Rating: 5.0 ★ (Clutch), 4.9 ★ (Gartner), 4.8 ★ (G2)
- Year established: 2015
- Location: Lexington, Kentucky (HQ); USA, Mexico, Philippines, Ukraine, Georgia, Puerto Rico, Poland, Germany, Albania
#2 Cotiviti
The highest-designated payment integrity leader for US health plans
If payment integrity has a household name, it’s Cotiviti. Founded in 1979 and headquartered in South Jordan, Utah, the company serves more than 200 healthcare payers, including all top 25 US health plans, processing billions of clinical and financial data points annually. Its 2025 recognition as the highest-designated Leader in Everest Group’s Payment Integrity Solutions PEAK Matrix Assessment reflects both market breadth and solution maturity. KKR-backed and reporting revenues approaching $1.5 billion, Cotiviti operates from 29 US locations with approximately 6,000 employees.
Cotiviti’s product portfolio spans the full payment cycle. On the pre-payment side: claims editing, clinical appropriateness review, and coding compliance. Post-payment: data mining, DRG review, COB validation, and overpayment recovery. Its 2025 acquisition of Edifecs, a healthcare data interoperability pioneer, extended its reach into real-time data exchange, which is increasingly important as payers navigate No Surprises Act compliance and value-based care contracts. Cotiviti also holds multiple CMS Recovery Audit Contractor designations, which gives it credibility in government payer programs that many commercial-only vendors lack. The trade-off is that Cotiviti’s enterprise focus means smaller regional plans often pay for platform breadth they don’t fully use.
Why we picked it
Cotiviti’s designation as the Everest Group PEAK Matrix Leader in 2025, combined with its top-25-payer client base and multi-decade track record, makes it the benchmark provider for enterprise-scale payment integrity programs. Its span across pre-payment, post-payment, and government payer markets is unmatched by any single competitor.
- Services offered: Pre-payment claims editing, clinical appropriateness review, coding compliance, post-payment data mining, DRG audit, COB validation, risk adjustment, quality improvement, consumer engagement, HEDIS measurement
- Pros: Serves all top 25 US health plans; 25+ years of HEDIS certification; Everest Group PEAK Matrix highest-designated Leader 2025; multiple CMS RAC contracts; $1.5B+ revenue; Edifecs acquisition adds real-time interoperability
- Industry expertise: Commercial health plans, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid managed care, Blue plans, government payers
- Best for: Large commercial health plans and Medicare Advantage organizations that need enterprise-grade, full-cycle payment integrity with pre-payment, post-payment, and risk adjustment in one platform
- Pricing: Outcome-based and SaaS pricing models. Contact vendor.
- Year established: 1979
- Location: South Jordan, Utah (HQ); 29 US locations
#3 Claritev (formerly MultiPlan)
Network-integrated payment integrity at scale for TPAs and large payers
Claritev rebranded from MultiPlan in February 2025, signaling a strategic shift toward its “Vision 2030” technology and data transformation plan. Founded in 1980 and now headquartered in McLean, Virginia, the company trades on the NYSE (CTEV) and carries four decades of payment integrity history behind the new name. Its most distinctive structural advantage is the intersection of network services and payment integrity: Claritev operates networks with more than 1.4 million participating providers, which means its payment integrity edits and repricing operate on actual network relationships rather than a layer of analytics detached from contract reality.
For out-of-network claims, which represent some of the highest-risk payment accuracy exposure, Claritev’s combination of repricing, clinical review, and clinically-focused negotiation creates a differentiated workflow that pure analytics vendors can’t replicate. Its No Surprises Act compliance capabilities address one of the most operationally complex regulatory requirements health plans currently face. The company identified $22.9 billion in potential medical savings in 2023 across its 700+ payer clients and 60 million covered consumers. The trade-off: Claritev’s 2025 rebrand is still mid-execution, and technology platform continuity under the new identity warrants due diligence from buyers evaluating long-term roadmap commitment.
- Services offered: Out-of-network repricing, payment and revenue integrity, claims editing, No Surprises Act compliance, network management, cost containment analytics, surprise billing services
- Pros: 1.4M+ provider network integration; 700+ payer clients; $22.9B in identified savings (2023); No Surprises Act compliance expertise; 40+ years of payment integrity history; NYSE-listed
- Industry expertise: Commercial health plans, TPAs, employer self-insured plans, government payers
- Best for: Health plans and TPAs with significant out-of-network claims exposure that need payment integrity integrated with actual provider network relationships
- Pricing: Savings-sharing and per-claim models. Contact vendor.
- Year established: 1980
- Location: McLean, Virginia (HQ); USA
#4 Zelis
Integrated payment integrity and financial technology for modern payers
Zelis takes a platform-first approach to payment integrity. Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, the company has raised $7.03 billion in funding and built an end-to-end healthcare cost management platform that integrates claims editing, network management, electronic payments, and member engagement in one connected system. With approximately 2,757 employees across 23 locations and clients including national health plans and TPAs, Zelis is positioned for the payer that wants payment integrity embedded in a broader financial technology stack rather than bolted on as a standalone audit function.
The Zelis Intelligent Pricing Platform anchors its payment integrity work. In 2025, the company deployed 156 new claims edits across high-cost categories including dermatology, lab testing, obstetrics, and ambulatory services, reflecting a data-driven approach to where cost growth is actually occurring rather than generic rule-set expansion. Its January 2026 acquisition of Rivet, a revenue cycle analytics company, extends its reach into the provider-facing intelligence side of the payment relationship. That provider-side visibility reduces the adversarial dynamic that pure-audit approaches often generate. The limitation is that Zelis’s breadth means deep specialization in specific payment integrity niches, such as government RAC programs, may lag focused specialists.
- Services offered: Pre-payment claims editing, payment integrity analytics, FWA detection, network management, electronic payments, out-of-network repricing, member communications, ZIPP cost containment platform
- Pros: $7B raised; 156 new claims edits deployed in 2025; Rivet acquisition adds revenue cycle analytics; integrated financial technology platform; strong TPA capabilities; national health plan client base
- Industry expertise: Commercial health plans, TPAs, Medicare Advantage, self-insured employers
- Best for: Payers and TPAs looking for payment integrity embedded within a comprehensive financial technology platform covering claims, payments, network, and member communications
- Pricing: Platform subscription and savings-sharing models. Contact vendor.
- Year established: 1995
- Location: Boston, Massachusetts (HQ); 23 US locations
#5 Gainwell Technologies
Government payer payment integrity and Medicaid management at scale
Gainwell Technologies is the dominant technology partner for government health programs. Spun off in 2020 from DXC Technology’s healthcare division, the company carries more than 50 years of Medicaid management history and now operates with 10,000+ employees generating $2.8 billion in annual revenue. Its core business is Medicaid Management Information Systems, which are the foundational claims adjudication and program administration platforms for state Medicaid programs. What makes Gainwell relevant in payment integrity is the scope of its program integrity capabilities: clinical claim reviews, utilization management, fraud detection, and HMS verification across state-administered health programs at a scale that commercial-only vendors don’t approach.
Gainwell’s 2025 MedTech Breakthrough “Best Healthcare InsurTech Solution” award for its Clinical Claim Reviews product reflects genuine recognition for a payment accuracy solution that reduces administrative burden while preserving Medicaid program dollars. For government payers, Gainwell brings the compliance credibility and existing system integration that new-entrant vendors cannot offer. The trade-off is that Gainwell is a government-first company. Commercial health plans with no Medicaid business will find its commercial payment integrity capabilities less mature than pure-play competitors.
- Services offered: Medicaid management systems, clinical claim reviews, program integrity analytics, utilization management, fraud detection, HMS verification, state health program administration, Medicaid IT consulting
- Pros: 50+ years of Medicaid management history; 10,000+ employees; $2.8B revenue; 2025 MedTech Breakthrough Award for Clinical Claim Reviews; existing system integrations across state Medicaid programs; deep regulatory expertise
- Industry expertise: State Medicaid programs, federal health agencies, government-sponsored health plans, CHIP programs
- Best for: State Medicaid agencies and government-sponsored health programs that need program integrity, clinical claim review, and fraud detection within an existing Medicaid management system relationship
- Pricing: Government contract and SaaS models. Contact vendor.
- Year established: 2020 (legacy operations 50+ years)
- Location: USA
#6 Codoxo
Generative AI payment integrity that intervenes before claims are created
Codoxo represents where payment integrity is going. Founded in 2016 as FraudScope and rebranded, the company is now headquartered in Duluth, Georgia, with 85 employees and $69 million raised, including a $35 million Series C led by CVS Health Ventures in December 2025. What makes Codoxo structurally different is not the size of its client base but its model: “Point Zero” payment integrity, which means intervening before claims are ever submitted rather than auditing or editing after the fact. Its Unified Cost Containment Platform covers pre-claim provider education, prepay claim editing, FWA detection, audit workflow, and medical record review in one generative AI-driven system.
The results being reported are notable. The platform covers more than 80 million lives, and Codoxo achieved 100% customer retention and 125% net revenue retention in 2025. Cost savings run up to $66 per member per year across clients. Its generative AI tools, including deepfake detection for synthetic medical documents and a Policy to Code capability that converts payer policies into executable workflows, address fraud vectors that traditional rule-based systems cannot catch. Its 2025 inclusion in Everest Group’s PEAK Matrix alongside much larger competitors signals that the platform’s capabilities are scaling credibly. The honest trade-off is scale: at 85 employees, Codoxo’s operational depth and implementation bandwidth are not yet comparable to enterprise incumbents.
Why we picked it
Codoxo earned a spot in this list because prevention-first payment integrity is the most important structural shift in the market right now. Its Point Zero model, which catches errors before claims are created rather than auditing and recovering after, represents a fundamentally better approach to reducing waste. The 2025 Series C backed by CVS Health Ventures and the 80M+ covered lives validate commercial traction at a level worth tracking.
- Services offered: Pre-claim provider education, generative AI FWA detection, prepay claim editing, audit workflow automation, medical record review, deepfake detection, policy-to-code execution, data mining
- Pros: $35M Series C led by CVS Health Ventures (Dec 2025); 80M+ covered lives; 100% customer retention in 2025; up to $66 PMPY savings; Inc. 5000 three consecutive years; Everest Group PEAK Matrix recognition
- Industry expertise: Commercial health plans, pharmacy benefit managers, government health agencies
- Best for: Health plans that want to shift from reactive post-payment auditing to pre-claim prevention-first payment integrity powered by generative AI
- Pricing: Per-member-per-year and outcome-based models. Contact vendor.
- Year established: 2016
- Location: Duluth, Georgia (HQ)
#7 Performant Healthcare (acquired by Machinify)
Government and commercial audit recovery expertise under new ownership
Performant Healthcare has the longest payment integrity pedigree of any company on this list. Founded in 1976 and headquartered in Plantation, Florida, the company spent nearly five decades building clinical audit, coordination-of-benefits, and recovery capabilities across Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial markets. It held multiple CMS Recovery Audit Contractor contracts, the Medicare Secondary Payer Commercial Repayment Center contract, and a Department of Health and Human Services OIG contract for complex claim review, giving it a level of government payer credibility that most commercial vendors have not earned.
In October 2025, Performant was acquired by Machinify and delisted from the Nasdaq. Machinify is an AI-native payment integrity platform, and the acquisition signals a strategic intent to layer AI automation onto Performant’s deep audit expertise and government payer relationships. The combined entity’s positioning in 2026 is still crystallizing, and buyers should evaluate Machinify’s integration roadmap directly. That said, the underlying clinical audit capabilities, which covered more than 100 million commercial lives pre-acquisition, remain intact and valuable. For government payers in particular, the historical contractual track record with CMS is a differentiator that a new platform cannot replicate from scratch.
- Services offered: Claims auditing, COB eligibility verification, Medicare RAC audit programs, MSP Commercial Repayment Center, government agency program integrity, recovery analytics, lockbox services
- Pros: 50+ years of payment integrity expertise; multiple active CMS RAC contracts; covered 100M+ commercial lives pre-acquisition; strong COB and recovery infrastructure; now combined with Machinify AI platform
- Industry expertise: Medicare, Medicaid, commercial health plans, government health agencies
- Best for: Government payers and large commercial health plans that need audit and recovery capabilities with deep CMS contractual history, now with added AI automation from Machinify
- Pricing: Outcomes-based and per-audit models. Contact vendor.
- Year established: 1976 (acquired by Machinify 2025)
- Location: Plantation, Florida (HQ); remote-first operations
#8 EXL Service
Analytics-led payment integrity for enterprise payers and life sciences
EXL Service brings a different dimension to payment integrity than the pure-play specialists. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in New York, the company operates with 60,000+ professionals across six continents, generating revenue across healthcare BPO, analytics, and digital operations. Its healthcare practice covers claims management, payment integrity analytics, revenue cycle management, and population health, with a 2025 launch of Service-as-Agentic-Solutions that reflects an early and deliberate investment in AI-native operational models.
What EXL brings to payment integrity is analytical depth combined with operational execution at enterprise scale. Its Lean Six Sigma heritage produces process optimization that pure technology vendors lack, and its ability to cover finance, HR, procurement, and healthcare operations under one contract appeals to large health plans and payers managing multiple vendor relationships. For multinational organizations or complex payer environments that need both the analytics layer and the human operations layer in one engagement, EXL covers more ground than any payment integrity specialist. The limitation is that healthcare is one of many verticals for EXL, which means dedicated payment integrity depth in niche clinical specialties may require supplementing with specialized partners.
- Services offered: Healthcare claims management, payment integrity analytics, revenue cycle management, care management operations, finance and accounting for health plans, AI-enabled auditing, population health analytics
- Pros: 60,000+ employees; Fortune 500 clients across 150 companies; Lean Six Sigma process expertise; AI-native Service-as-Agentic-Solutions (2025); multi-function BPO covering healthcare, finance, and HR under one contract
- Industry expertise: Commercial health plans, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid managed care, pharmaceutical, life sciences
- Best for: Large enterprise health plans and payers seeking a multi-function analytics and operations partner that covers payment integrity alongside finance, HR, and broader operational programs
- Pricing: Custom enterprise pricing. Contact vendor.
- Year established: 1999
- Location: New York, New York (HQ); USA, India, Philippines, Colombia, South Africa
#9 Optum (Change Healthcare)
Unmatched scale for real-time adjudication and revenue cycle across US healthcare
Optum is the health services division of UnitedHealth Group and, through its Change Healthcare integration, processes a substantial share of all US healthcare claims. Its payment integrity capabilities span real-time adjudication, claims editing, fraud and abuse analytics, and revenue cycle management at a scale no independent vendor approaches. Change Healthcare’s network processes billions of clinical transactions annually and connects more than 1.4 million US physicians, 7,100 hospitals, and 33,000 pharmacies. For payers that need deep system integration with the largest claims clearinghouse in the US, Optum’s combined platform is the default infrastructure choice.
The trade-offs are significant and known. Optum’s 2024 Change Healthcare cyberattack disrupted large portions of US claims processing for weeks, raising serious questions about infrastructure resilience and concentration risk that persisted into 2025. Payers with heavy Optum/Change dependence carry meaningful single-vendor exposure. The company’s status as a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group also creates commercial conflict-of-interest concerns for competing payers evaluating its platform. For organizations in the UnitedHealth ecosystem, the integration value is clear. For those outside it, the risk and conflict calculus deserves careful evaluation.
- Services offered: Revenue cycle management, real-time claims adjudication, payment accuracy, claims editing, fraud and abuse analytics, clearinghouse services, provider network management, population health analytics
- Pros: Connects 1.4M US physicians and 7,100 hospitals; processes billions of clinical transactions annually; deep EHR and payer system integration; unmatched clearinghouse scale for real-time adjudication
- Industry expertise: All major US healthcare payer and provider segments, including government programs
- Best for: Large health plans already integrated with Change Healthcare infrastructure that need real-time claims adjudication and payment accuracy at national scale
- Pricing: Clearinghouse and SaaS pricing models. Contact vendor.
- Year established: 1993 (Change Healthcare legacy; combined as Optum)
- Location: Eden Prairie, Minnesota (Optum HQ); Nashville, Tennessee (Change Healthcare); USA and global
#10 HealthEdge
Core administration and real-time payment policy for modern health plans
HealthEdge approaches payment integrity from the inside out. Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts, the company builds core administration systems for health plans, with its HealthRules Payer platform providing real-time claims adjudication, payment policy management, and compliance tools built directly into the core administrative infrastructure rather than layered on as a separate audit function. For health plans replacing legacy adjudication systems, that integrated approach changes the economics of payment integrity: rules are applied at adjudication rather than caught in downstream audits.
HealthEdge’s 2025 partnership with Codoxo extends its pre-claim intelligence capabilities, which is a meaningful signal that even core administration vendors recognize the value of upstream prevention. Its platform is built for the No Surprises Act, price transparency rules, and value-based care contract management, giving it regulatory freshness that older legacy platforms struggle to match. The limitation is deployment complexity: replacing a core administration system is a significant multi-year undertaking, and health plans mid-contract with legacy vendors face real switching costs. HealthEdge is a best fit for plans actively modernizing their core technology infrastructure.
- Services offered: Core administration platform, real-time claims adjudication, payment policy management, No Surprises Act compliance, value-based care contract management, member and provider portals, compliance reporting
- Pros: Real-time claims adjudication built into core administration; No Surprises Act and price transparency compliance; Codoxo partnership for pre-claim intelligence; value-based care contract support; modern SaaS architecture
- Industry expertise: Commercial health plans, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid managed care, BlueCross plans
- Best for: Health plans replacing legacy core administration systems that want payment integrity embedded at the adjudication layer rather than added as a post-payment audit overlay
- Pricing: SaaS platform subscription. Contact vendor.
- Year established: 2004
- Location: Burlington, Massachusetts (HQ); USA
Helpware CX – Our top choice
Among the 10 companies analyzed, Helpware CX stands apart for a structural reason that analytics-first vendors rarely acknowledge: the operational execution layer is where payment integrity programs succeed or fail in practice. Platform providers deliver the rules and the analytics. Helpware delivers the trained, HIPAA-certified teams that apply them. Its HIPAA-compliant healthcare operations infrastructure covers prior authorization, eligibility and COB verification, claims processing accuracy, and healthcare data management, with compliance architecture built for audit-level scrutiny.
The operational metrics make the case plainly. A 2.8% monthly attrition rate against a 6-8% industry average means the teams running your payment integrity workflows build genuine expertise in your benefit structures and payer rules over time. A 90% CSAT score reflects quality that clients can measure. The 5+ year average partnership tenure means health plans are not cycling through Helpware on annual contract reviews. They are building programs on it.
The trade-off is honest: Helpware is not an analytics platform, a claims editing engine, or a fraud detection software vendor. It provides the operational execution and compliance infrastructure that sits beneath those tools. For health plans that have already invested in payment integrity platforms but are leaking savings because operational execution cannot keep pace, Helpware addresses that gap directly and at scale.
Build Your Payment Integrity Program on What Actually Holds It Together
Healthcare payment integrity in 2026 is not a technology-only problem. It never was. The companies that consistently recover the most savings and maintain the lowest error rates combine strong analytics with strong operational execution. The vendors on this list each address different parts of that equation, from pre-claim AI prevention to government RAC audit programs to core administration integration. No single vendor covers every dimension well. The right answer for most health plans is a deliberate architecture: a primary analytics or platform vendor paired with an operational execution partner whose compliance infrastructure, attrition rate, and institutional knowledge match the standards your program demands. Start with what your current program actually lacks before evaluating what each vendor sells.
