MultiPlan and the National Rural Health Association Announce Strategic Alliance to Empower Rural Healthcare Providers through Innovative Technology and Services

Uniting the combined strengths of two leading healthcare organizations to address financial barriers to patient care.

MultiPlan Corporation (NYSE: MPLN) (“MultiPlan” or the “Company”), a leading provider of data-driven cost management solutions that deliver transparency and promote fairness, quality and affordability to the U.S. healthcare industry, and the National Rural Health Association (NRHA), a non-profit membership organization that provides leadership on rural health issues, announced today a strategic alliance to improve access to high-quality healthcare services in rural communities by empowering rural healthcare providers with innovative technology and actionable insights.

In today’s healthcare ecosystem, rural healthcare providers face significant challenges. With increasing financial pressures exacerbated by staffing shortages, smaller rural populations, and limited access to specialized services, patients in rural communities often travel longer distances to urban facilities to receive critical care. Only 10% of U.S. physicians practice in these regions despite nearly 20% of the population residing in these areas.

MultiPlan and NRHA recognize that, together, they are uniquely positioned to transform the rural healthcare ecosystem. By combining more than 40 years of expertise with innovative technology, public data and data-driven insights, the partnership aims to reduce costs, bring transparency, and ultimately improve the quality of healthcare and patient access in rural areas.

“Our passion for rural healthcare is rooted in the belief that every patient, regardless of location, deserves access to high-quality medical care,” said Travis Dalton, CEO and President of MultiPlan. “With our combined understanding of rural healthcare, and our steadfast commitment to delivering transformational technology like CompleteVue™ to rural providers later this year, our goal is to positively impact rural health networks and decrease healthcare costs, ensuring access to quality care is not only maintained but improved.”

This strategic alliance will empower rural healthcare providers by advancing advocacy initiatives that support sustainable healthcare systems, while enhancing financial viability through the use of tech-enabled solutions and data science expertise. Additionally, it will foster collaboration and knowledge sharing through increased transparency and a strong network of support among rural healthcare providers.

“We’re excited to partner with MultiPlan and work towards a shared vision of a robust and sustainable rural healthcare system that meets the needs of our members and communities across the United States,” said Alan Morgan, Chief Executive Officer of NRHA.
