MultiPlan facing new class action lawsuit, StatNews reports

MultiPlan is facing a new class action lawsuit filed by for-profit hospital company Allegiance Health Management that claims the company and large health insurers “conspired to fix, suppress, and stabilize” payments made for out-of-network medical claims, StatNews’ Bob Herman reports. The lawsuit comes weeks after The New York Times published an investigation detailing how MultiPlan and its insurance company clients make more money by low-balling payments to hospitals.
