Company Overview

MAXIMUS, Inc. is a U.S.-based government services company that provides business process services, clinical services, customer engagement operations, and technology-enabled program administration primarily for government agencies. The company operates in the public services and government outsourcing industries, with a focus on health and human services programs, workforce services, and citizen engagement solutions. Its core revenue drivers include administering government-sponsored healthcare programs, eligibility and enrollment services, contact center operations, program modernization, and employment-related support services.

The company serves federal, state, local, and international government clients, with significant exposure to healthcare administration and social services programs. MAXIMUS has developed a strategic position through long-term government contracts, regulatory expertise, large-scale citizen service infrastructure, and integrated technology platforms. Founded in 1975 by David Mastran and headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, the company initially focused on management consulting before expanding into outsourced government operations, digital transformation, and clinical support services through both organic growth and acquisitions.

Business Operations

MAXIMUS organizes its operations primarily through the U.S. Federal Services and U.S. Services segments, alongside international operations historically focused on the United Kingdom, Canada, and other overseas public-sector markets. The company generates revenue largely through multi-year government contracts tied to healthcare administration, Medicare and Medicaid support, appeals processing, eligibility services, workforce development programs, and citizen contact center management. The company has also expanded its capabilities in digital services, cloud-enabled operations, and clinical assessments.

The company controls substantial operational infrastructure including secure contact centers, digital engagement platforms, case management technologies, and clinical assessment networks. Major capabilities include independent medical reviews, program integrity services, and federal customer support operations. MAXIMUS strengthened its federal positioning through the acquisition of Veterans Evaluation Services (VES), which expanded its medical disability examination and clinical services capabilities for U.S. government agencies. The company also maintains partnerships with public agencies and technology providers to support modernization and automation initiatives.
