The Justice Department said its Antitrust Division’s new Task Force on Health Care Monopolies and Collusion will consider “widespread competition concerns shared by patients, healthcare professionals, businesses and entrepreneurs, including issues regarding payer-provider consolidation, serial acquisitions, labor and quality of care, medical billing, healthcare IT services, access to and misuse of healthcare data and more.” The group’s mandate is to facilitate policy advocacy, investigations and, where warranted, civil and criminal enforcement in healthcare markets.
