CorVel Corporation
American technology company
CorVel Corporation is an American technology company.
History
In 1987, Gordon Clemons joined with Jim Michael and Jeffrey Michael, investors from Minnesota, and founded CorVel Corporation (originally named FORTIS). Three small vocational rehabilitation firms were consolidated to form the initial foundation of the new company, valued at approximately $2 million with over 200 associates.
Within two years, the company expanded to 51 American locations, and they entered the medical bill review and medical case management business.
In 1991, the company first issued stock to the public and began trading on the NASDAQ at a market capitalization value of $46 million. The offering raised $3.5 million, net of the repayment of venture funding. The following year, the Fortis name was sold, raising $4 million and the company changed its name to CorVel Corporation. With the funding from the name sale, CorVel began building a national preferred provider organization (PPO).
During the mid '90s, CorVel doubled its office network again, and expanded its software offerings. PPO services became an important part of most healthcare management sales.

Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5169368. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1987 and 1991.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
