TULSA, Okla. -- QuikTrip has signed on as the newest client of MultiPlan Inc., the nation's oldest and largest independent PPO network.
QuikTrip will utilize MultiPlan's national primary PPO, the PHCS Network, throughout the country. In order to maximize employee choice while still saving on health-care costs, QuikTrip will also make use of MultiPlan's national complementary network---The MultiPlan Network---to give employees access to additional providers offering contracted savings. For payment of health-care services claims from providers that [image-nocss] don't participate in either network, MultiPlan's fee negotiation service will work with providers directly to negotiate specific reductions.
"We are very pleased to have been selected by QuikTrip," said Dale White, executive vice president of sales and account management for MultiPlan. "Their national scope makes them the ideal user of our broad suite of services, which gives their employees access to a broad national base of providers both within their primary PPO and beyond it, while giving QuikTrip the benefit of three integrated opportunities to save on each and every claim submitted."
