WASHING- TON — The Justice Department alleged Monday in a lawsuit that Michigan Blue Cross Blue Shield is discouraging competition by engaging in practices that raise hospital prices — conduct that an assistant attorney general vowed to challenge anywhere it is found in the United States.
The suit targets “most favored nation” clauses between Michigan Blue Cross Blue Shield and health care providers that, according to the government, essentially guarantee that no competing health care plan can obtain a better rate.
