Case Description

Addison-Gilbert Hospital is located on the Cape Ann peninsula and Beverly Hospital is the closest competitive provider of hospital services. The Attorney General’s office was concerned that the merger might result in price increases at Addison-Gilbert. To address the concern, the hospitals entered into an agreement which provides that the hospitals will not raise charges for services at Addison-Gilbert to a level higher than those charged at Beverly Hospital. The agreement will be in effect for five years.
