Command Investigations Acquires CoventBridge Division to Lead U.S. Market

Command Investigations acquired the insurance division of CoventBridge, creating the largest insurance fraud investigation firm in the United States.

On July 7, 2026, Command Investigations acquired the insurance investigations division of CoventBridge, creating the largest insurance fraud investigation firm in the United States. Based in Lake Mary, Florida, Command Investigations absorbed the Jacksonville-based division, which serves over 200 insurance carriers, third-party administrators, and self-insured companies.

The transaction integrates CoventBridge's proprietary case management technology and international reach in the United Kingdom and other global markets into Command's national network. The acquired business will temporarily operate as CoventBridge Insurance Investigations before rebranding to Command. This acquisition follows an accelerated merger and acquisition strategy initiated by Incline Equity Partners, which acquired Command Investigations in March 2025.

Seth Markham, President and CEO of Command Investigations, will lead the newly integrated insurance division. Doug Merriman continues as CEO of the remaining CoventBridge Integrity Systems, which will now focus exclusively on providing investigative technology and services to government and healthcare sectors, including the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Brown Gibbons Lang & Company served as the exclusive financial advisor to CoventBridge for the deal, the terms of which remain undisclosed.
