MCLEAN, Va. - Claritev Corporation (NYSE: CTEV), a company specializing in healthcare technology, data, and insights, announced on Monday the appointment of Jason Kap to its Board of Directors. Kap’s election was confirmed at the company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 30, 2025, and he will assume his role immediately.

With over 20 years of experience, Kap is recognized for his expertise in technology, pricing, and product strategy. He is the founder and CEO of Blue Rocket Incorporated and has held various leadership roles at Microsoft Corporation, including General Manager and Senior Director of Worldwide Licensing and Pricing. His previous roles also include serving as a visiting scholar at MIT and holding board positions at several private companies.

Travis Dalton, Chairman, CEO, and President of Claritev, expressed confidence in Kap’s ability to contribute to the company’s technology-driven transformation, citing his history of leading product innovation and business transformation.

Kap’s appointment aligns with Claritev’s strategy to enhance its platform through strategic investments and partnerships, aiming to improve affordability, transparency, and fairness in healthcare for employers, payers, and patients.

Kap shared his enthusiasm for Claritev’s vision and his commitment to supporting the company’s growth and impact on the healthcare system.

Formerly known as MultiPlan, Claritev leverages over 40 years of claims processing data, advanced technology, and AI to develop solutions that address the needs of various stakeholders in the healthcare industry, including payors, employers, patients, providers, and third parties.

The company serves a wide network, including more than 700 healthcare payors, over 100,000 employers, 60 million consumers, and 1.4 million contracted providers.

In other recent news, Claritev Corp reported mixed fourth-quarter results for 2024, with revenue reaching $232.1 million, contributing to a full-year total of $930.6 million—a 3.2% decrease from the previous year. The company’s guidance for 2025 indicates potential flat growth or a revenue decline of up to 2%, with expectations of sequential revenue and EBITDA growth driven by a transformation program. Piper Sandler analyst Jessica Tassan raised Claritev’s stock price target to $19 from $10, maintaining a Neutral rating, citing the impact of healthcare regulations on revenue prospects.

These changes aim to align executive incentives with shareholder interests.
