On November 11, 2020, Muddy Waters Research (Muddy Waters) released a report entitled MultiPlan: Private Equity Necrophilia Meets The Great 2020 Money Grab. Among other issues, the Muddy Waters report asserted that Multiplan is in financial decline, and its financial statements were engineered to obscure this existing deterioration and that the Company is in the process of losing its largest client, UnitedHealthcare (UHC), which has formed a competitor to MultiPlan that offers significantly lower prices and fewer conflicts of interest.

On this news, Multiplans stock price fell $1.72 per share, or 19.7%, to close at $7.01 per share on November 11, 2020.
