Antitrust Enforcement In Health Care: A Risky And Evolving Landscape
Executive Summary
In the last 18 months, seven companies and four executives in the generic pharmaceuticals manufacturing sector were charged with antitrust violations, amassing penalties of over $426m. And this month, the Department of Justice Antitrust Division brought its first ever criminal charges for a conspiracy to lower wages to workers against the former owner of a physical therapist staffing company. With enforcement efforts ramping up – and COVID-19 adding additional scrutiny – health care companies will need a comprehensive antitrust compliance program to avoid enforcement actions.
