The American Hospital Association is calling for the U.S. Department of Labor to investigate the business practices of MultiPlan, a data analytics firm accused of negotiating reduced reimbursements for out-of-network medical providers. The New York Times investigation revealed that the company works with major insurers such as UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and Aetna to save billions of dollars through these practices. Patients end up with unexpectedly high bills, while employers face increased costs. The AHA is urging government oversight to hold companies like MultiPlan accountable for their actions. MultiPlan has denied the allegations, while lawsuits like the one from AdventHealth highlight ongoing concerns.
