A Modern Healthcare article that quotes health care partner and co-chair Tim McCrystal examined Midwest hospital and health system consolidation and increased regulatory scrutiny from state officials in Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri and South Dakota.
Tim notes that proposed updates to federal merger guidance for cross-market transactions usually do not raise the type of antitrust issues that in-market transactions do. He said the new state laws represent a potential way to review cross-market transactions that don’t often draw the interest of federal regulators.
The article cites the firm’s tracker for state regulations of health care transactions.
