What the complaint alleges
EHG Enterprises Inc., doing business as Bliss Recovery, sued MultiPlan, Inc. and numerous health insurers in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The complaint alleges that the defendants conspired to fix prices for out-of-network healthcare services, forming a 'MultiPlan Cartel' that restrained trade. The plaintiff incorporates by reference the allegations from the Consolidated Master Direct Action Plaintiff Complaint in the MultiPlan Health Insurance Provider multi-district litigation. EHG Enterprises seeks damages for injuries resulting from the challenged anticompetitive conduct.
