Healthcare Preferred

Healthcare Preferred is a regional Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) network that provides healthcare cost management solutions and network access to insurance payers and third-party administrators. Primarily operating in the Midwestern United States, the company offers a comprehensive network of hospitals, physicians, and ancillary providers to facilitate discounted medical services for self-funded employer groups and insurance carriers. In 2006, the company was acquired by MultiPlan, a leading national provider of healthcare cost management solutions, to expand its regional footprint. Healthcare Preferred focuses on the administrative and financial aspects of healthcare delivery rather than biotechnology research or drug development. It continues to operate as a specialized network brand within the broader MultiPlan portfolio.
