Since the 1980s, antitrust enforcement of the health care industry has been a high priority of federal antitrust regulators, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Department of Justice, as well as the states' attorneys general, who have their own antitrust enforcement activities.

This enforcement activity has included challenges to provider conduct, particularly in connection with negotiations with payors, and consolidations in health care markets.

The range of activities have led the federal agencies to promulgate health care antitrust guidelines, as well as a significant number of advisory rulings.
