What Ciox Health does

Ciox Health, founded in 1976 and headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, merged with Datavant in 2021 and now operates as a wholly owned division under the Datavant brand. The combined company builds the largest health data retrieval network in the United States, connecting 80,000+ provider sites, 100% of U.S. payers (directly or through customers), and 350+ real-world data partners, with 20,000+ digital FHIR endpoints. Annually, more than 60 million medical records and 1,500 terabytes of data move across the platform, and 1 trillion records are tokenized for privacy-preserving exchange.

The technology core is Datavant Connect, a tokenization and privacy-preserving record linkage platform that converts personally identifiable information into irreversible, site-specific tokens and applies machine-learning-based patient matching across disparate datasets. It is wrapped by modular solutions for linkage, privacy (HIPAA Expert Determinations and statistical de-identification), and retrieval, plus Datavant Trials for clinical research and a Clinical Insights Platform for evidence generation. AI capabilities include LLM-powered clinical data abstraction, context-aware agentic workflows grounded in proprietary clinical data, predictive analytics for risk adjustment, and digital-first automation that achieves 98% AI accuracy and 97.6% inpatient coding accuracy.

Revenue is generated across five streams: transaction-fee health data exchange and release-of-information services; subscription and usage-based access to Datavant Connect for tokenization and connectivity; professional-services HCC and risk-adjustment coding for health plans; LLM-powered clinical abstraction for life sciences evidence generation; and transaction-fee claims intelligence and record analysis through ChartSwap for legal and insurance buyers. The business is sold primarily through enterprise field sales to large health systems, health plans, life sciences, and legal/insurance buyers, with pricing quoted annually on volume and use-case basis. The company holds Best in KLAS designations across coding and risk adjustment in both 2025 and 2026 and is certified to HIPAA, SOC II Type 2, HITRUST r2, and FedRAMP standards.
