  • Title: Physicians under siege: the Federal Trade Commission versus the physicians of St. Francis Hospital.
    Author: Rosen BF.
    Journal: Med Staff Couns; 1988; 2(4):73-6. PubMed ID: 10290186.
    Abstract:
    This article concerns the Federal Trade Commission's recent consent agreement with Preferred Physicians, Inc. ("PPT"), a corporation formed by physicians for the purpose of negotiating with HMOs and PPOs. The author comments on PPI's agreement not to negotiate on behalf of any PPI member unless and until PPI becomes an "integrated joint venture." and suggests how to insulate a physician joint venture from antitrust liability.
