Program description:
A sweeping federal antitrust lawsuit is moving forward against MultiPlan, Inc. and several major insurers, including Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealth, and Blue Cross Blue Shield, alleging that MultiPlan, using Data iSight, Viant, and its other services, facilitated a horizontal price-fixing agreement among insurers that artificially suppressed out-of-network payment rates and cost providers billions of dollars. Following a key court ruling in June 2025, the case is headed into discovery, with potential damages tripled under federal law for successful claims. Participants will explore the litigation's origins, key legal developments, and strategies for affected providers to consider. The session will also examine why now is the time to evaluate potential participation on an individual, non-class basis, without waiting for a ruling on the proposed class action, which is expected no earlier than 2027.
ISMA has joined the litigation as a plaintiff, seeking an immediate end to MultiPlan’s anticompetitive conduct, as part of our advocacy on behalf of our members. This webinar is a member benefit to ensure you have the information you need to evaluate your options.

At the end of this live webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Describe how MultiPlan's services allegedly suppressed out-of-network payment rates for practitioners and facilities.
- Outline the impact of MultiPlan's conduct on providers.
- Evaluate options for individual participation in the litigation and know how to connect with direct action plaintiff attorneys.
