MultiPlan Litigation Moves Forward: May 2026 Update

Oct_23_TM_Law

The Texas Medical Association is a plaintiff in the In re MultiPlan Health Insurance Provider Litigation, a federal antitrust case alleging MultiPlan and major health insurers colluded to suppress out-of-network reimbursement rates paid to physicians and other providers. 

TMA joined the American Medical Association and hundreds of physician practices and facilities nationwide in this growing antitrust litigation and is seeking an immediate end to the alleged anti-competitive conduct.

At a May 15 case management conference, parties discussed with Judge Matthew Kennelly the ongoing exchange of evidence from the defendants, including disputes over access to the source code for MultiPlan's algorithms and cell phone records of communications between defendants. The court resolved several of those disputes, approved a 60-day extension to the case schedule, and allowed plaintiffs to update their complaints to add new defendants as the case continues to develop.

The case remains in active discovery, with the 36 bellwether plaintiffs continuing to have their cases worked up for trial. However, any member who wants to file a case still can do so. Members who believe they've been impacted by MultiPlan's practices are encouraged to reach out to an attorney.

A detailed webinar is scheduled for June 23.
