Product
Network-based cost management
MultiPlan leverages a network of over 1.5 million providers and access to roughly 95% of U.S. hospitals to cut out-of-network exposure and lower unit costs. Services—repricing, contractual discount application, and steerage to in-network care—drive measurable claim savings and reduced balance billing. The solution ensures fair, prompt payments while preserving provider relationships via flexible contracting. Breadth, depth, and contractual agility distinguish its offering.
Payment integrity & claims analytics
Advanced analytics detect waste, fraud, and abuse across pre-pay and post-pay workflows, targeting an industry-estimated 5–10% of U.S. healthcare spend (roughly $300–600B annually as of 2024). AI/ML models flag billing anomalies, coding errors, and duplicate claims to optimize accuracy and reduce leakage. Dashboards deliver actionable insights to payors’ SIU and claims teams in real time. The focus is measurable accuracy, speed, and medical cost savings.
Reference-based pricing solutions
Reference-based pricing solutions benchmark claims to objective reference rates such as the Medicare fee schedule or market indices, targeting the top 1% of members that drive roughly 20% of spend; they help payors manage high-cost claims with defensible methodologies while providing providers transparent rationales to streamline adjudication, aiming for predictable, fair pricing and fewer disputes.
Negotiation & provider engagement services
Specialist teams negotiate complex and out-of-network claims to equitable outcomes, prioritizing patient experience and timely resolution through single-case agreements and high-dollar claim handling. These capabilities support payors, TPAs, and self-funded employers with expert advocacy and rapid case escalation.
- Negotiation of OON and complex claims
- Single-case agreements for rapid settlement
- High-dollar claim management and advocacy
- Support for payors, TPAs, self-funded employers
Compliance, NSA, and interoperability tools
Compliance, NSA, and interoperability tools help clients navigate the No Surprises Act (enacted 2020; key rules effective 2022–2023), supporting notice-and-consent, IDR preparedness, and robust audit trails; API-enabled integrations streamline eligibility, pricing, and adjudication data exchange while reducing risk and administrative burden.
- NSA enacted 2020; rules effective 2022–2023
- Workflows: notice-and-consent, IDR readiness, audit trails
- APIs: eligibility, pricing, adjudication

Place
Direct enterprise sales to payors
Go-to-market targets national and regional health plans, TPAs, and self-funded employers, which account for about 67% of U.S. covered workers in employer-sponsored plans (EBIA 2023). Dedicated account executives manage long-cycle procurements and RFPs, typically 9–18 months. Solutions are tailored by line of business and geography and secured via multi-year agreements, commonly 3–5 years, to anchor continuity and scale.
Channel partnerships and TPAs
Alliances with TPAs, PBMs, and platform vendors embed MultiPlan services at the point of adjudication, reducing friction in claim routing and authorization; the largest three PBMs account for roughly 80% of US prescription adjudication (2024). White-label and co-branded options extend reach into niche segments, enabling placement inside employer and specialty channels. Partners accelerate adoption through bundled benefits and leverage existing distribution to lower acquisition costs and increase lifetime value.
API and platform integrations
Standards-based APIs (FHIR, X12) connect claims editing, adjudication, and payment platforms to streamline data exchange and compliance. Batch and real-time workflows support high-throughput environments, enabling processing of millions of transactions per day and sub-minute adjudication for many claims. SSO-enabled portals give clients centralized visibility and controls, reducing friction and accelerating time-to-value.
Nationwide provider footprint
MultiPlan maintains contracted networks across all 50 states plus DC, covering most U.S. markets and specialties with localized configurations that reflect regional cost patterns and provider dynamics.
Networks scale to support high-dollar, complex claim negotiations—targeting the top 5% of claim spend—and provide breadth to ensure member access and steerage options.

Implementation and client success
Structured onboarding maps custom edits, routing rules, and savings targets; dedicated client success teams monitor KPIs such as cost per claim, touchless rate, and recovery rate, and continuously optimize rules. Ongoing training and support ensure adoption across payor operations. Continuous improvement cycles maintain and expand realized savings over time.
- Onboarding: custom edits + routing + targets
- Client success: KPI monitoring + rule optimization
- Adoption: training across payor ops
- Outcome: continuous improvement sustaining savings

Thought leadership and research
Publish white papers on medical cost trends and regulatory impacts using CMS data showing US National Health Expenditure reached about $4.5 trillion in 2023 and FWA estimates of roughly 3–10% of spending (≈$135–$450B) to quantify opportunity. Host webinars and roundtables for payors, TPAs, and employers and provide benchmark reports highlighting realized savings and recoveries in the billions, positioning MultiPlan as a data-driven authority.
Industry events and associations
Active presence at major health plan and benefits conferences (3,000+ attendees typical) lets MultiPlan reach payers and benefits leaders directly; sponsorships and panel slots boost solution visibility and brand recall, often translating into 30–45% higher engagement versus standard outreach. Live demos showcase analytics, workflows and measurable ROI in real time, while event networking produces concentrated enterprise leads with higher close rates and larger average contract sizes.
Case studies and ROI proof
Outcome-focused case studies quantify savings, accuracy lift, and cycle-time gains with clear KPIs; vertical stories for ASO, Medicare Advantage, and commercial lines tie metrics to decisions—Medicare Advantage enrollment exceeded 30 million in 2024 (CMS), sharpening impact per member. ROI calculators and short pilots de-risk spend decisions by modeling payback and sensitivity. Social proof from peers accelerates stakeholder buy-in.
Account-based digital campaigns

Price
Per-claim and subscription hybrids
Pricing blends platform subscriptions with per-claim processing fees to balance fixed and variable costs. Pre-pay and post-pay modules can be licensed separately and sold via transparent rate cards that align cost with usage. This hybrid accommodates varied claim volumes and lines of business within a US healthcare market that reached about $4.5 trillion in 2023.
Performance-based and shared savings
Fees tied to validated medical cost reductions align incentives, with shared-savings splits commonly in the 30–50% range and client-facing floors/thresholds (often 2–5%) to limit volatility. Independent third-party audits or actuarial reviews (SOC/SVA engagements) substantiate savings attribution. These models encourage continuous optimization, with industry case studies reporting mid-single to low-double-digit net savings for payers in 2023–24.
Tiered enterprise packages
Tiered enterprise packages bundle network access, payment integrity, and negotiation services at progressive tiers, targeting enterprise buyers (>$1B revenue) and simplifying procurement for complex organizations. Higher tiers add advanced analytics and premium 24/7 SLAs introduced in 2024 to drive faster recoveries. Modular add-ons enable tailored configurations and scalable deployment across lines of business.
Volume discounts and term incentives
Scaled pricing rewards higher claim volumes and multi-LOB adoption, with typical tiered discounts accelerating at volume bands (commonly up to 20% at top tiers in 2024 contracting practice). Multi-year commitments unlock preferential rates (often 5–15% off list in recent market deals), while implementation credits—frequently covering a portion of onboarding costs—ease switching and foster long-term partnerships.
- Volume tiers: up to 20% off
- Multi-year: 5–15% preferential rates
- Implementation credits: partial onboarding cost coverage
- Outcome: strengthens multi-year partnerships
Pilots and proof-of-value
Short-term pilots demonstrate savings and operational fit before scale-up, with industry pilots commonly showing 8–12% measurable cost reductions within 90 days; limited-scope engagements reduce onboarding risk for new clients and protect margins. Clear, pre-defined success criteria guide conversion to full contracts, and pilot data feeds iterative pricing refinement and ROI modeling.
- Pilot duration: ~90 days
- Typical savings: 8–12%
- Conversion rate: ~60–70% (2024 industry surveys)
- Outcome: data-driven price adjustments
Hybrid pricing: pilots save 8–12%, shared-savings 30–50%
Pricing mixes subscriptions and per-claim fees to align fixed/variable costs; hybrid licensing and transparent rate cards fit a US healthcare market ~4.5T (2023). Shared-savings splits typically 30–50% with 2–5% floors; pilots (90 days) show 8–12% savings and ~60–70% conversion (2024). Volume discounts up to 20% and multi-year cuts 5–15% accelerate adoption.
