QuikTrip has opted to use Multiplan Inc. for its PPO networking needs. The chain will utilize the MultiLine's national primary PPO, the PHCS Network, throughout the country.

In order to maximize employee choice while still saving on healthcare 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 healthcare services claims from providers that don't participate in either network, MultiPlan's fee negotiation service will work with providers directly to negotiate specific reductions.

"The size and scale of MultiPlan was a perfect fit for our company," said Kim Owen, vice president of human resources for QuikTrip. "MultiPlan was able to provide a multi-state corporation like ours with a single source for virtually all our healthcare cost management needs."
