What Definiti does

Definiti is a national Workers' Compensation Cost Containment provider founded in 2002 and headquartered in Lake Forest, California, with an additional office in Phoenix, Arizona. The company operates as an Ethos Risk company and serves Third Party Administrators (TPAs), self-insured employers, insurance brokers, self-administered entities, occupational accident insurers, public sector entities, and Longshore/Maritime employers across the United States. Its stated scale includes 251-500 employees, over 900,000 bills processed historically, and 75+ combined years of Workers' Compensation Bill Review experience across the executive team.

Definiti's core products are organized around a rules-based bill review technology platform and comprise six integrated offerings: Medical Bill Review (state fee schedule-compliant re-pricing), Specialty Bill Review (fair-value pricing for out-of-network services, claiming 55-85% savings off billed charges), National and Regional PPO/Ancillary Networks (access to 20+ networks spanning imaging, PT, dental, DME, and other ancillary services), Technology Solutions (the underlying bill review platform with web portal, reporting, and customizable workflow rules), UR Integration (linking utilization review decisions with bill review), and DefinitiRx (a Pharmacy Benefit Management service with a 70,000+ pharmacy national network). The platform integrates with multiple claims management systems, clearinghouses, and utilization review providers via customizable interfaces.

The business model is B2B with a transaction-fee revenue structure on bill processing and managed services for PBM, distributed through direct enterprise sales (targeting large TPAs, carriers, self-insured employers, and government entities), inside sales/account management for mid-market customers, and broker/referral partnerships. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company pursues a relationship-driven, retention-focused go-to-market anchored by a 'Clients for Life' positioning, with no observable venture capital or growth-equity footprint beyond a single disclosed funding event.
