The definition of a relevant geographic
market has proven to be one of the most daunting components of a hospital
merger case. Nonetheless some guiding principles are clear. The hypothetical
monopolist test of the Merger Guidelines should be used to define geographic
markets in hospital merger cases. The types of evidence used in all merger
cases such as strategic planning documents of the merging parties and customer
testimony and documents should also be used to delineale relevant geographic
markets in hospital merger cases. The agencies believe that courts have given
insufficient weight to payor testimony and documents in particular. The agencies
encourage further research to determine the circumstances in which patients
will travel to distant hospitals in response to price increases.

or small group practitioners, competing only with other such Practitioners in
their particular product and geographic market. As the market for physician services
has evolved and antitrust enforcement has addressed anticompetitive conduct,
competition has emerged along multiple dimensions. IPAS and PHOs compete for
physician – members and to contract with payors. The forms and modes of
competition in the market for physician services will inevitably vary overtime
as conditions and preferences change. Competition helps deliver an optimum mix
of physician services at the lower cost and highest quality.
