May 13, 2026

Federal Healthcare Antitrust Litigation Moves Ahead

The Arizona Medical Association is a plaintiff in the In re MultiPlan Health Insurance Provider Litigation, a federal antitrust case alleging that MultiPlan and major health insurers colluded to suppress out-of-network reimbursement rates paid to physicians and other clinicians, and is seeking an immediate end to their anti-competitive conduct. 

At the April 9 case management conference, the parties discussed with Judge Kennelly the information the defendants must share as part of discovery, including MultiPlan’s source code and cell phone records of communications between defendants.
 
The case is now in discovery and the court has selected the 36 bellwether plaintiffs whose cases are being worked up for trial. 

Members of the Arizona Medical Association interested in joining the lawsuit as litigants are eligible for discounted contingency fees. If you believe you've been impacted by MultiPlan's practices, you are encouraged to reach out to an attorney.
