Inside the MultiPlan Litigation: What Behavioral Health Providers Need to Know | Part 1

What if your organization had been underpaid for out-of-network claims for nearly a decade and never knew it? In part one of this two-part conversation, trial attorney Devin van der Hahn, founder of Vanderhahn LLP, joins Mark Scrivner, Jeff Skillen, and Lee Pepper to break down the MultiPlan (now Clarivate) antitrust litigation and how its subsidiary, Data iSight, built a pricing algorithm from competitors' own data — a scheme Devin argues is a textbook Sherman Antitrust Act violation. This conversation is essential listening for behavioral health executives, treatment center operators, and revenue cycle leaders who want to understand whether their organization was affected. You'll learn what data to start pulling, why SUD and behavioral health providers were hit especially hard, and what's coming in part two. Billed out-of-network between 2015 and 2024? Two antitrust cases allege MultiPlan, Zelis, and 700+ health plans coordinated to suppress your reimbursements. Find out if your claims qualify. https://snapshot.agency/mastermined-m...
