Exclusive contracts between hospitals and physicians are common. In most instances they raise no anticompetitive concerns. However, especially in rural markets, exclusive contracts may be used to foreclose actual and potential competitors and thereby decrease competition. The courts should weigh the benefits and costs of exclusive contracts in these areas.
医院与医生之间的独家合同很常见。在大多数情况下，它们不会引发反竞争担忧。然而，尤其是在农村市场，独家合同可能被用来排除实际和潜在的竞争对手，从而减少竞争。法院应该权衡这些领域中独家合同的利弊。
