Overview

Mission

To deliver quality, clarity and opportunity.

What it reported doing in 2024

Qlarant integrity solutions consults and contracts with federal, state and private enterprises to detect and investigate health care fraud, waste and abuse through predictive modeling, data mining and data analysis.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 98% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
