In the NASHP report, A Tool for States to Address Health Care Consolidation: Improved Oversight of Health Care Provider Mergers, The Source Senior Health Policy Researcher Katie Gudiksen and Erin Fuse Brown detail key considerations for provider merger oversight laws and co-authored a model legislation that can give states additional tools to oversee transactions that may harm competition.
For more information and details on provider consolidation and merger review authority, visit the Source Market Consolidation interactive key issue page.
