Abstract

FTC and HHS are seeking public comment in an Request for Information (RFI) regarding market concentration among large health care GPOs and drug wholesalers, as well as information detailing their contracting practices. The RFI’s purpose is to provide the agencies with an understanding of how the practices of two pharmaceutical drug middlemen groups—group purchasing organizations (GPOs) and drug wholesalers—may be contributing to generic drug shortages.
