“It is an open question whether the guidelines will chill merger and acquisition activity in healthcare and what their full impact will be,” said Friel, Gunter and Hanger. “The guidelines do highlight, however, the need for parties considering a potential merger or acquisition in healthcare to consult antitrust counsel early in the process, given the robust regulatory and enforcement environment. Healthcare firms should proactively vet all potential transactions for antitrust concerns as part of their initial due diligence.”
