A Northern District of Texas court received a proposed settlement between the Department of Justice and a Texas hospital that was accused of monopolizing the hospital services market by preventing insurers from working with competitors. United Regional Health Care System of Wichita Falls, Texas, controlled hospital services in the area and was allegedly able to charge insurance companies about 70% more than its nearest competitor for the same services. The proposed settlement prohibits the hospital from retaliating against or imposing anti-competitive agreements on health insurers for seven years.
