Litigation Content
Why this Matters
The plaintiff, a Connecticut hospital, argues that certain anticompetitive physician practice acquisitions and associated practices by a major health systems in Connecticut violate federal and state antitrust laws. Dominant hospitals can seek to entrench their physician specialty market share by aggressively acquiring physician practices, threatening doctors to only make referrals to a particular hospital, using financial penalties to ensure physicians exclusively practice at a particular hospital, and preventing health insurers from designing networks that would permit patients to utilize lower cost providers. These practices ultimately increase health care prices and health care premiums for patients.
Potential Impact
Anticompetitive practices by dominant hospitals regarding physician specialty practice acquisitions and related policies to enhance hospital bargaining power can further drive up health care prices.
