Health Care Competition Toolkit
by Practical Law Antitrust
| Maintained • USA (National/Federal) |
This Toolkit includes resources that help attorneys litigate and counsel on antitrust issues relating to health care competition, including resources on healthcare mergers, pharmaceutical mergers, and pay-for-delay agreements.
Health care competition is a top enforcement priority for state and federal antitrust authorities and is also frequently the subject of private litigation, particularly with respect to pharmaceutical companies' reverse payment settlement agreements (also known as pay-for-delay agreements).
Antitrust attorneys who litigate or counsel on health care matters should stay abreast of decisions regarding:
- Health care mergers, including:
- health care providers; and
- health care insurers
- Pharmaceutical mergers.
- Pay-for-delay settlements.
- Other anticompetitive or possibly anticompetitive health care conduct, including:
- most favored nation clauses (MFN);
- refusals to deal; and
- price fixing.
The Health Care Competition Toolkit provides several continuously maintained resources to guide counsel in litigating and counseling on health care matters. This Toolkit also includes resources on the substantive antitrust laws that are relevant to health care competition.
