Healthcare Antitrust Overview

United States Health Care Antitrust and Litigation Attorney

When physicians seek legal advice on antitrust issues, they are often frustrated and angry at how difficult it has become to simply practice medicine. This difficulty is not because of any lack of training - it's because of the dramatic changes in health care markets and the ever changing ways in which physicians are paid by health insurers.

Common Questions Doctors Ask.

"I want to maintain my independence as a private physician but I find it more and more difficult to remain economically viable given the actions taken by health insurers. What types of joint ventures or other collaborative ventures can I set up with other physicians that will address this problem without violating the antitrust laws?"

"A large part of my practice is based out of a hospital. I also own a surgery center, where I perform many procedures. My hospital just created a new credentialing policy that discriminates against physicians that compete against the hospital. How can you help protect my right to practice in the hospital and save my surgery center?"

"I want to change an independent practice association that I formed with other physicians so as to have the IPA negotiate fees with health insures. How can we do this without violating the antitrust rules against price fixing?"

"I am tying to open an imaging center, and the local hospital that currently provides imaging services has launched a campaign to prevent me from opening the facility. How can I stop this anticompetitive conduct?"
