How CorVel makes money
CorVel charges clients fees for managing claims, reviewing and auditing medical bills, running provider networks and handling patient case management. Its revenue grows with the volume of claims and bills it processes and with the medical-cost savings it delivers to payors.
What CorVel does
CorVel Corporation, founded in 1987 and based in Fort Worth, Texas, provides services that help payors manage the medical costs and quality of care in workers' compensation, general and auto liability, and other healthcare claims. Its clients include employers, third-party administrators, insurance companies and government agencies. Services run from bill review, fee auditing, preferred provider networks, pharmacy and independent medical exams to hands-on patient management such as case management, 24/7 nurse triage, utilization management, vocational rehabilitation and life care planning. CorVel also processes property and casualty claims for self-insured payors and offers hospital bill auditing and payment integrity services. It uses artificial intelligence, machine learning and natural language processing to manage episodes of care and the costs tied to them. This makes CorVel a technology-driven cost-containment and claims administration company that sits between payors and the healthcare system.

What is CorVel worth?
On an owner-earnings DCF, CorVel's most-likely value is about $76 versus a recent price near $77 (2% above fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$25) with a margin of safety — so the honest verdict here is “Fairly priced — no edge.” Fair value earns its keep only at the extremes, not in the wide middle.
Price sits in the normal range — fair value isn't actionable here; it earns its keep only when price drops below the no-growth floor, or runs to roughly double the optimistic case.
Analysis, not advice. Fair value is a margin-of-safety estimate from a deterministic owner-earnings DCF, not a price target or recommendation. See the full breakdown →
