Sutter Health to Pay $230 Million to Settle Antitrust Lawsuit Alleging Inflated Prices

Sutter Health will pay approximately $230 million to settle a federal class-action lawsuit that accused the company of anticompetitive behavior. The settlement resolves allegations that the healthcare provider engaged in practices that stifled competition within the California market. The lawsuit alleged Sutter Health used its market power to drive up prices for patients. Specifically, the suit claimed Sutter Health prevented insurers from offering lower-cost plans and blocked the release of pricing information to consumers. The plaintiffs in the case argued that these actions resulted in higher healthcare costs for individuals and employers throughout Northern California. The settlement awaits final approval from the court.
