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 other services, facilitated a horizontal price-fixing agreement among insurers that artificially suppressed out-of-network payment rates and cost physicians billions of dollars.
The Texas Medical Association joined the American Medical Association and hundreds of physician practices and facilities nationwide in this growing antitrust litigation. MultiPlan goes by many names, including Data iSight, Viant, NCN, ProPricer, and MARS. The case is headed into discovery, with potential damages tripled under federal law for successful claims.
Join TMA for a timely webinar on what this case means for practitioners and facilities nationwide. Matt Lavin, partner at Gilbert LLC, and Jennifer Scullion, partner at Seeger Weiss, members of the Executive Committee for direct-action plaintiffs, will walk through the litigation’s origins, key legal developments and strategies for affected physicians to consider. Mr. Lavin will also explain why now it is important to evaluate your potential participation in the case and to support industry reform.
When: June 23, 6 pm CT

The session will conclude with a Q&A, and open discussion is welcome and appreciated. All participant information will be kept private.
The court also has appointed attorneys to litigate a proposed antitrust class action on the same issues, but a ruling on any proposed class certification is not expected until 2027. Physicians who believe they have been impacted by MultiPlan’s conduct can join the litigation individually on a non-class basis and do not need to wait for any ruling on a proposed class.
