Featured Engagement: Economic and Actuarial Analysis in a Healthcare Antitrust Matter

Plaintiffs allege that a dominant healthcare provider engaged in anticompetitive conduct to restrain trade, foreclose competition, and exercise market power to obtain supracompetitive reimbursement rates from commercial health plans. The alleged conduct resulted in overcharges to health plans contracting through third‑party network vendors, which were ultimately borne by individuals and employers through higher insurance premiums and in‑network payment obligations. Vega Economic’s was retained to support two experts in the matter.
