The company operates a single reportable segment encompassing healthcare payment integrity services and customer care outsourced services, primarily serving U.S.-based companies. Financial information, including annual operational plans and forecasts, is reviewed at the consolidated level by the Chief Executive Officer, who serves as the chief operating decision maker (CODM). The CODM evaluates segment performance based on net income (loss) reported in the consolidated statement of operations and allocates resources accordingly. While revenue is categorized by service type, expenses are managed collectively for the company. Major segment expenses, mainly salaries and benefits, are identified within the single operating segment. Segment assets correspond to total assets reported on the consolidated balance sheets. The CODM also considers certain adjustments to consolidated net income (loss) as an additional measure of segment profit or loss, adhering to US GAAP principles.
