The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced the withdrawal of two antitrust policy statements the agency deemed “outdated.”
The decision targets guidance on antitrust enforcement in healthcare published in August 1996 and on accountable care organizations published in October 2011. The move puts the FTC in line with the Department of Justice, which similarly withdrew its guidance on each matter earlier this year.
