COTIVITI USA, LLC
ATLANTA, GA

In a complex environment, attention to detail is essential. Every transaction, contract and relationship is a potential source of additional value – if a company can make certain that every interaction is accurate and what’s promised is delivered. That’s what Cotiviti does. Leveraging sophisticated analytics and technology, our experts dig into complex data streams to uncover financial opportunity in places that are hard for our clients to reach. Cotiviti is a recognized leader in payment accuracy solutions for major healthcare payers in the U.S., along with audit and recovery for top retailers across the U.S., U.K. and Canada. We’re a dynamic, global company that combines the complementary strengths, cultures and values of two trusted client partners: Connolly and iHealth Technologies. Analytic findings are combined with unmatched industry knowledge and innovative best practices. The result: actionable information that leads to positive business outcomes. The unique ability to dive into hard-to-reach places unlocks value that can range from outstanding financial results to business optimization. Ours is a unique approach that treats payment accuracy as a financial best practice encompassing the client’s entire business. We apply analytics to identify patterns and incongruities, creating deep insights that unlock value across the payment continuum. Across the company, there’s a shared ethos of quality that comes to the fore in the way we handle each relationship. Clients look to Cotiviti as a strategic partner, thoughtful in our approach to their challenges and highly responsive to their changing needs. What truly sets Cotiviti apart is our collaborative style – the way we get close to our clients’ business, teaming with them to understand their priorities and thinking creatively to help them achieve their goals. Cotiviti is an investment in the future we share with our clients. It affirms our ability to collaborate with healthcare payers and retailers to deliver solutions that maximize their profitability and operating performance. It also represents our ability to continue to grow, offer opportunities to our employees and deliver meaningful value to our clients – under one unified corporate brand name. I am proud to be part of the team at Cotiviti and look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues to ensure that we remain at the forefront of the industries we serve.
