In this episode, healthcare attorney Mike Greer from Hall Render joins the show to help health system leaders understand how federal antitrust enforcement is shifting—and what it means for provider networks, hospital partnerships, and managed care contracts.
With deep experience advising systems, hospitals, and physicians, Mike breaks down the key changes happening at the FTC and DOJ, including the withdrawal of prior guidance, the use of new merger guidelines, and what triggers scrutiny in today’s regulatory climate. He also unpacks how clinical integration, managed care contracting, and network formation can be structured to avoid antitrust violations while still achieving strategic alignment.
Whether you’re working on a CIN, PHO, or MSO—or just trying to make sense of what’s safe to build—this conversation delivers clear, grounded insight on how to move forward without stepping into legal risk.
