MSMS recently became a co-plaintiff in the federal MultiPlan lawsuit, filed in US District Court in Chicago. The suit alleges that MultiPlan, a company that provides out-of-network claims processing for insurance companies, violated federal antitrust laws by using billing information from its client companies to drive down payments for medical services over a ten-year period.

MSMS has joined the suit on behalf of its member physicians to seek injunctive relief to end to these unfair practices. Medical practices throughout Michigan may have been unwitting victims of the MultiPlan scheme and could be entitled to compensation for underpaid claims and other damages.

Physicians should consider joining the suit as co-plaintiffs. Medical practices will not share in any settlement unless they register as plaintiffs. Plaintiffs’ attorneys are working on a contingency fee basis, which means there are no out-of-pocket costs.
