JOINT VENTURE SAFETY ZONE FOR EXISTING HIGH-TECH MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
This article was originally published in The Gray Sheet
Executive Summary
JOINT VENTURE SAFETY ZONE FOR EXISTING HIGH-TECH MEDICAL EQUIPMENT is established by the Federal Trade Commission and Justice Department in a revised document on health care antitrust enforcement guidelines issued Sept. 27. The inclusion of joint ventures involving already purchased devices broadens the scope of the antitrust safety zone for shared "high-technology or other expensive medical equipment" set up in September 1993 by the agencies. The original safety zone was only for newly purchased equipment ("The Gray Sheet" Sept. 20, 1993, p. 21)
