Company Description
MSP Recovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSPR) is a data‑driven Medicare, Medicaid, commercial, and secondary payer reimbursement recovery company. According to multiple company disclosures, MSP Recovery focuses on enforcing Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) laws and related reimbursement rights by identifying improper or underpaid healthcare claims and pursuing recoveries from responsible primary payers. The company describes itself as a reimbursement recovery and technology leader, combining legal expertise with proprietary analytics to address waste, fraud, and inefficiencies in the healthcare reimbursement system.
Founded in 2014, MSP Recovery states that it has built a large portfolio of assigned healthcare claims from health insurance payors, healthcare providers, Medicare Advantage Organizations, and other entities. Through Claims Cost Recovery Agreements (CCRAs) and other assignment arrangements, the company acquires rights to pursue recoveries on conditional payments and other claims where a primary payer, such as a property and casualty insurer or other responsible party, should have reimbursed medical expenses. The company reports that these assignments are supported by federal and state laws and that its business model centers on enforcing those rights through litigation, settlement, and demand‑letter strategies.
Business model and recovery activities
MSP Recovery’s public filings and news releases explain that it seeks assignment of recovery rights from secondary payers and providers, then uses a proprietary internal data analytics platform to review claims and identify those with probable recovery paths. The company has reported portfolios that include accident‑related claims, pharmaceutical and product‑liability matters, group health plan recoveries, and other categories of potentially recoverable claims. It has described sending individual demand letters to responsible payers, engaging in data‑matching processes with insurers, and pursuing class actions and other litigation to obtain recoveries.
The company has disclosed settlements with property and casualty insurers and pharmaceutical defendants, as well as mediated agreements that include both cash payments and data‑sharing arrangements. MSP Recovery’s releases emphasize that recovery rights can function as liquidated damages, and that the value of its assets may be affected by interest accrual and legal outcomes. The company has also highlighted settlements and legal victories, such as a ruling from the Supreme Court of Maryland affirming the validity of its claim assignments from Medicare Advantage Organizations, which the company characterizes as supporting its assignment‑based recovery strategy.
Technology, data analytics, and LifeWallet ecosystem
Across multiple announcements, MSP Recovery describes itself as combining legal and technological capabilities. It reports using data analytics, algorithms, and machine‑learning‑driven tools to analyze large volumes of healthcare claims data and to estimate potentially recoverable amounts. The company has disclosed partnerships with technology firms, including Palantir Technologies, Inc., and Tokenology Labs, to build platforms that integrate artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing (NLP), and machine learning (ML) for claims analysis.
MSP Recovery has also developed and promoted the LifeWallet brand and platform. The company has stated that LifeWallet was created to address fragmented data systems by providing connectivity for multiple industries, including healthcare, legal, sports, and education. According to its public statements, LifeWallet aims to put patients at the center of the healthcare ecosystem by giving them access to their health information and by connecting them with providers and payers. The platform is also described as supporting real‑time analytics at the point of care, helping identify primary insurers, and assisting providers with accident‑related billing and reimbursement processes.
In addition, MSP Recovery and Tokenology Labs have developed LifeChain, a tokenization platform that the company states can convert standard medical claim forms into unique digital tokens on a blockchain infrastructure. The company reports that LifeChain is designed to process large volumes of tokenized claims at high speed, apply quality‑control algorithms and predictive AI, and incorporate biometric authentication hashes to help reduce fraud and improve accuracy in claims processing. MSP Recovery has indicated that LifeChain is integrated into its "Chase to Pay" model and supports both historical portfolio analysis and real‑time claim identification.
Legal strategy and litigation focus
MSP Recovery’s disclosures emphasize its legal strategy as a core component of its operations. The company reports pursuing class actions, individual cases, and demand‑letter campaigns to enforce reimbursement rights under the Medicare Secondary Payer Act and other laws, including antitrust and unfair trade practices in some pharmaceutical matters. It has described working with courts and insurers on court‑supervised data‑matching processes to identify instances where primary payers did not reimburse Medicare Advantage Organizations or other secondary payers.
The company has highlighted specific litigation developments, such as settlements with property and casualty insurers and pharmaceutical manufacturers, and a class action against a major auto insurer where a state supreme court upheld the enforceability of MSP Recovery’s assignments. These legal outcomes are presented by the company as reinforcing its ability to pursue recoveries on behalf of its healthcare clients and assignors.
Corporate developments, capital structure, and listing status
MSP Recovery is incorporated in Delaware and has reported its Class A common stock and warrants trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols MSPR, MSPRW, and MSPRZ during the periods described in the filings. The company has undertaken reverse stock splits to address Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirements and has described efforts to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards, including stockholder approvals for reverse splits.
In its SEC filings, the company has disclosed notices from Nasdaq regarding non‑compliance with minimum stockholders’ equity and bid‑price requirements, as well as the subsequent decision by a Nasdaq Hearings Panel to delist the company’s common stock from Nasdaq. The company reported that trading of its common stock on Nasdaq would be suspended and that it expects its shares to trade on the OTC Markets OTCQB market under the ticker MSPR following suspension. These disclosures provide context for investors regarding the trading venue and regulatory status of MSP Recovery’s equity securities.
MSP Recovery has also reported entering into various financing and restructuring arrangements, including a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement with YA II PN, Ltd. (Yorkville), convertible promissory notes, and strategic term sheets with investors such as Hazel Partners and Virage Capital Management. The company’s public statements describe these arrangements as intended to provide bridge funding, working capital, and debt restructuring, including potential conversions of debt to equity and the release or modification of certain guarantees.
Rebranding and LifeWallet positioning
In late 2022, MSP Recovery announced that it would begin doing business as LifeWallet and that its Nasdaq ticker symbol for common stock would change to LIFW at the beginning of 2023. The company stated that the rebranding would not change its core strategy of secondary payer reimbursement recoveries but would align its identity with its LifeWallet platform and related business lines. The company has described LifeWallet as a nationally recognized brand and has referenced marketing initiatives, including activities in the name, image, and likeness (NIL) space with collegiate athletes, as part of its broader brand strategy.
MSP Recovery’s disclosures also describe additional LifeWallet verticals, such as LifeWallet Sports and LifeWallet EDU, which the company states are being developed to provide services in sports and education contexts. These descriptions emphasize the use of biometric technology, data connectivity, and compliance‑oriented features, though the company’s core business remains focused on healthcare reimbursement recoveries and related technology‑enabled services.
Regulatory and audit matters
The company has reported interactions with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including an investigation initiated in 2022 relating to its business combination, financial results, investor agreements, and data analytics platforms. In a later news release, MSP Recovery announced that SEC staff had concluded the investigation and did not intend to recommend enforcement action against the company or its officers. The company has also disclosed auditor transitions and related timing impacts on its periodic filings, including a notification of late filing for a Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q due to the transition to a new independent registered public accounting firm.
These regulatory and audit disclosures, together with the company’s detailed risk factor and liquidity discussions in its annual reports, provide additional context for understanding MSP Recovery’s operating environment, capital needs, and governance framework as presented in its public filings.
