Utah companies well-represented among nation’s fastest-growing

Utah, 34th among states by population, nonetheless can boast of 86 companies being listed in this year's Inc. 5000 rankings of the fastest-growing private companies.

The list, announced last week, also features 14 Utah companies that rose to inclusion in the Inc. 500.

Connexion Point was the highest-ranking Utah company at No. 86. Other companies in the Utah top five are No. 104 Alliance Health, No. 124 VRx, No. 149 Buy PD and No. 150 Goal Zero.

The Inc. 5000 ranks companies according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2010 to 2013. To qualify, companies must have been founded and begun generating revenue by March 31, 2010. They also had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit and independent - not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies - as of Dec. 31, 2013.

The companies on the Inc. 500 list are featured in Inc.'s September issue.

Connexion Point said its inclusion on the list was due to 3,943.8 percent growth, putting it at 12th nationally in overall growth in the healthcare sector.

Connexion Point specializes in contact centers in Medicare and Medicaid, and its clients include four of the top 10 healthcare providers in the nation. It has more than 1,000 employees and offices in Provo; Roy; Salt Lake City; and San Antonio, Texas.

"We don't just answer phones or make calls," said Robert McMichael, president and chief executive officer. "We deliver high-quality consumer interactions, incredible accuracy and superior outcomes. Healthcare is complicated. We help make it simpler."
