With the investment led by Starr and Partners Group, we have the long-term capital, strategic support and collective set of relationships to further grow our company and evolve our solutions in the rapidly-changing healthcare market and beyond."
 
"In an environment of escalating medical costs, MultiPlan's value proposition is increasingly critical and its innovative solutions ever more impactful to corporations and, more importantly, the lives of their employees," says Joel Schwartz, a managing director of Partners Group in New York.
 
"It has been our privilege to partner with MultiPlan," said Raymond Svider, managing partner of BC Partners, and Egon Durban, managing partner of Silver Lake.
