Description

In 2023, the FTC and DOJ withdrew three long-standing policy statements relating to enforcement in healthcare, characterizing them as "outdated" and "overly permissive" on subjects such as information sharing. These policies provided safety zones covering certain hospital mergers, joint ventures, collaborations between providers and physician networks, and more. This withdrawal created uncertainty for the healthcare industry and resulted in increased scrutiny of collaborations and transactions in the healthcare sector.

A lot has happened in the landscape for antitrust enforcement in the healthcare sector since the withdrawal, and scrutiny of healthcare collaborations and transactions has only increased at both the federal and state levels.

Listen as our expert panel of healthcare attorneys discusses the current landscape for antitrust enforcement in the healthcare sector.
