California Attorney General Kamala Harris is investigating whether hospitals in the state are violating antitrust laws by using their growing ties with doctors to increase prices, according to The Wall Street Journal, which cited unnamed sources. In a note to investors earlier today, Wells Fargo analyst Gary Lieberman wrote that he doesn't believe the probe represents a significant threat to the companies he covers. Lieberman noted that the hospitals named in the article were mostly large, non-profit systems. The probe doesn't appear to focus on doctors' reimbursement rates, but seems targeted at hospitals that have recently begun to acquire a larger number of physician practices, Libemerman wrote. DaVita (DVA) faces little risk from the probe, since California-based Healthcare Partners, which it recently acquired, doesn't own any hospitals, the analyst added. Lieberman maintained an Outperform rating on DaVita. He also maintained Outperform ratings on Community Health (CYH), HCA Holdings (HCA), and Tenet Healthcare (THC). The analyst maintained a Market Perform rating on Universal Health (UHS). | |
