LISTEN TO THE EPISODE:
Daniel Marino:
Welcome to value based care insights. I am your host, Daniel Marino. Back in April of this year there was an interesting ruling that came out from the FTC. I'm sure many of our of you, many of our listeners have seen that. And the ruling was really around the FTC banning non-competes. And, boy, I'll tell you it really started a whole series kind of a tighter wave of discussions, if you will. On what is potentially is going to mean to physicians. Single specialty physicians, such as anesthesia as well as employed medical groups, large multi-specialty groups who have employment agreements that have non-competes included in there. It really it started a lot of chatter. And then, very soon after the FTC came out with their ban, of course there was a number of appeals, and it stuck in an appeal right now. But again, it has such a large implication to our provider community that I thought it would be really interesting for us to dive into what the potential ban means, and what are those implications to both physicians who maybe they're negotiating employment agreements with a non-compete, or our executive partners who may be negotiating with a medical group that you may or may not want to include a non-compete.
Well, I'm really excited today to have a colleague that I've worked with for quite some time, Hal Katz. Hal is a partner with Hush Blackwell.
