November 3, 2025-Claritev Corporation (“Claritev” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CTEV), a technology, data and insights company focused on making healthcare more affordable, transparent and fair for all, and Eastern Plains Healthcare Consortium (EPHC), a consortium of nonprofit rural hospitals in the eastern plains of Colorado, with support from two health systems, today announced a strategic relationship to deliver advocacy, insights and innovation across EPHC’s 13 independent member hospitals.
Through this agreement, Claritev aims to help streamline financial and administrative operations for healthcare providers by reducing claim denials, improving workflows and boosting financial performance. By leveraging Claritev’s Strategy & Insights Services, the relationship seeks to enhance EPHC’s payment accuracy, improve provider benchmarking and market analysis and empower member hospitals and clinics to make more informed financial and clinical decisions.
“This strategic relationship marks a pivotal step in Claritev’s expansion strategy to empower providers with data-driven intelligence that strengthens financial sustainability and improves patient outcomes,” said Travis Dalton, President & CEO of Claritev. “Our core mission is to make healthcare affordable for all and nowhere is that mission felt more strongly than in our rural communities. We are proud to work with EPHC to help them in their mission to continue delivering high quality healthcare to their patients.”
Claritev’s provider analytics aim to empower EPHC member hospitals to gain greater transparency into commercial payor contracts, optimize service line performance and improve negotiation outcomes. Each of the 13 member hospitals will also have the opportunity to engage directly with Claritev for additional services designed to improve revenue and cost containment.
“We are proud to collaborate with Claritev to bring innovative, data-driven solutions to our member hospitals,” said Zac D’Argonne, CEO of EPHC. “This engagement will help us address the unique financial and operational challenges facing rural healthcare providers and ensure long-term sustainability for our communities.”
Kevin Stansbury, CEO of EPHC member hospital, Lincoln Community Hospital and Care Center in Hugo, Colorado, added, “Claritev’s tools and expertise will allow us to better understand our market position, improve our financial performance and ultimately enhance the care we provide to our patients.”
The relationship is expected to launch in Q4 2025. Under the terms of the agreement, Claritev and EPHC will work closely on implementation, integration and ongoing support to ensure that healthcare organizations across Colorado can fully realize the value of this collaboration. The initiative underscores both organizations’ commitment to advancing financial sustainability, innovation and improved access to care across rural communities.
