Justice Department
Issues Business Review Letter
In a letter from Charles
A. James, Acting Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Antitrust
Division, to counsel for Hyatt, Imler, Ott & Bount, P.C. (HIOB),
the Department advised HIOB that it does not intend to challenge
HIOB's proposal to collect and publish certain information on
list prices for services provided by Georgia hospitals. HIOB,
an Atlanta, Georgia, public accounting firm, proposes to collect
annually from hospitals in Georgia their list prices for certain
services and publish reports showing, for "peer groups" of comparable
hospitals, the high, low and average price of each service. HIOB
believes hospitals would find such information useful in assessing
market conditions for these services.
