Legal Battle Over Louisiana Hospital Deal Continues with State and Federal Intervention

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry is seeking to intervene in a federal lawsuit filed by LCMC Health over its purchase of three New Orleans area hospitals, arguing that the state's approval of the deal should be enough for it to move forward. The Federal Trade Commission told LCMC earlier this month that the hospital operator should have sought the approval of federal regulators before executing the $150 million deal with HCA Healthcare. LCMC responded by filing suit against the FTC, arguing that the approval via the state's “Certificate of Public Advantage,” or COPA, was the proper approval process.

LCMC Health sues federal government over Tulane hospital acquisition.

LCMC Health is being sued by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over its acquisition of three Tulane University Medical Center hospitals in New Orleans. The FTC claims that the $150m deal should have gone through a federal review process for potential anti-trust violations. LCMC argues that it did not need to seek approval from the FTC, citing a Louisiana law dating back to the early 1990s. The deal was finalized in January, and LCMC is now facing fines and penalties that could total nearly $9.5m.
