Payment Integrity Platform Provider Reaches Exclusive Milestone Among Nation's Fastest-Growing Companies on the 2026 Inc. 5000 List
FRANKLIN, Tenn., Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ClarisHealth today announced it has been ranked on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list for the seventh consecutive year, an achievement accomplished by fewer than one percent of all Inc. 5000 honorees. The annual recognition places the company among America's fastest-growing private companies.
"This is what consistency looks like," said Michael Axt, CEO of ClarisHealth. "We've sustained growth across an expanding baseline for seven years not by chasing trends, but by doubling down on what works: a team that's relentlessly focused on solving a fundamental problem for health plans, a platform that delivers measurable ROI, and clients who trust us with their most critical operations."
Maintaining a spot on the Inc. 5000 list year after year requires demonstrating sustained revenue growth while competing against an increasingly large peer set. ClarisHealth attributes its trajectory to consistent adoption of its Pareo® enterprise technology platform by health plans modernizing their payment integrity operations.
"What strikes me about this milestone is it reflects our clients' momentum as much as ours," said Tate McDaniel, Chief Growth Officer. "Health plans are becoming more strategic about payment integrity, and Pareo is the platform they're choosing to eliminate fragmented operations and take control of and scale their programs. That client success is driving our growth."
This year's Inc. 5000 honorees demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty and competitive pressure. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130 percent, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.
"Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still," says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. "Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance–it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement."
Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2026 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 14–16 in Dallas, Texas.
