Is Your Agreement Non-Exclusive in Name Only?
The legality of certain collaborative arrangements and contracts often rises and falls on whether the relationship between the parties involved is exclusive or non-exclusive. For example, the issue of exclusivity often determines whether an ACO or other network is deemed to be over-inclusive and, therefore, able to exercise market power, or the foreclosure effects of a contractual relationship between a dominant provider and a payor might unreasonably harm competition.

Colorado Places New Limitation on Physician Restrictive Covenants
Earlier this month, Colorado amended its law governing physician non-compete agreements (C.R.S. § 8-2-113(3)). Since its enactment in 1982, that statute generally has prohibited agreements restricting the rights of physicians to practice medicine, but has allowed contractual provisions requiring a physician to pay damages arising from his or her competition if the damages are reasonably related to the injury suffered by the employer or other contracting party. Under the amended statute, “a physician may disclose his or her continuing practice of medicine and new professional contact information to any patient with a rare disorder…to whom the physician was providing treatment.” The goal of the amendment is to avoid interruptions to the continued care of individuals with rare disorders. The statute looks to the National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc. to maintain a database of diseases considered “rare disorders.”
