Hospitals, group purchasing organizations, and the antitrust laws
1Proskauer Rose, LLP, Washington, D.C., USA. tbrock@proskauer.com
Abstract:
Hospital members of group purchasing organizations should ensure that their GPO's business practices do not restrain trade. Hospitals should monitor their GPO to minimize their antitrust exposure. GPOs and their hospital members should assess administrative fees, bundling arrangements, duration of contracts with suppliers, and product-breakthrough policies in relation to their impact on competition and product innovation. GPOs and their hospital members should closely monitor activities of federal and state antitrust agencies in light of the agencies' renewed antitrust concerns.
