Inc. Magazine Unveils Annual List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies.
August 19, 2019 — Bedminster, NJ — Inc. magazine revealed that Zelis Healthcare, a mid-cap healthcare technology growth company and market-leading provider of integrated healthcare cost management and payments solutions, has been named for the 9th time to its 38th annual Inc. 5000. The most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies, this list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the U.S. economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
“We are honored to make the list for the 9th time,” said Doug Klinger, CEO of Zelis Healthcare.“Our growth is a result of our payer clients, our provider network members, our provider payments network members, our partners and our dedicated associates working together every day to help reduce the rising cost of healthcare and help make healthcare more affordable for all of us.”
Not only have the companies on the 2019 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists. The 2019 Inc. 5000 achieved an astounding three-year average growth of 454 percent, and a median rate of 157 percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $237.7 billion in 2018, accounting for 1,216,308 jobs over the past three years.
“The companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 have followed so many different paths to success,” says Inc. editor in chief James Ledbetter. “There’s no single course you can follow or investment you can take that will guarantee this kind of spectacular growth. But what they have in common is persistence and seizing opportunities.”
