Background

About Michael R. Greer

I am a health care lawyer in the Indianapolis office of Hall Render. I focus my practice in the areas of antitrust and managed care. As part of my antitrust practice, I have extensive experience in counseling health systems, hospitals, and physicians on the antitrust requirements of mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and provider networks. In this capacity, I frequently obtain clearance from the FTC and DOJ under the premerger reporting requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Act and defends providers in government antitrust investigations. During these government investigations, I manage complex procedural requirements, including large-scale document productions and electronic discovery, and negotiate competition issues with the federal antitrust enforcement agencies. I also counsel health care providers on day-to-day antitrust compliance issues related to provider networks, managed care contracting, dominant firms, and exchanges of competitively sensitive information. As part of my managed care contracting practice, I have helped negotiate innumerable managed care contracts, educate many clients on the legal and operational issues in managed care contracting, develop value-based purchasing strategies and advise on Direct to Employer contracting strategies, as well as advise on other innovative network and contracting strategies aimed at increasing the quality of care while decreasing the cost of care. I am also well versed in the formation, operation and antitrust considerations of all types of provider networks, including ACOs, clinically integrated networks (CINs), PHOs, IPAs and messenger model networks.
