Federal Jury Levies $11.3 Million Verdict Against CareCore

An Eastern District of New York jury found that CareCore National and owners of CareCore radiology practice engaged in anticompetitive practices.  In 2008, the plaintiff, a group of New York Stand-Up MRI PC radiology practices, sued alleging that CareCore and other radiology practices conspired to prevent the plaintiff from becoming participating network providers of MRI scans in New York. By engaging in the conspiracy, CareCore intended to shield CareCore-owner radiology practices from competition. This agreement prevented patients from receiving scans from competing radiology practices, specifically those that offered stand-up MRI scans. The jury concluded after a two-week trial the plaintiff had presented evidence of a conspiracy.
