• Physicians have historically been solo or
  small group practitioners, competing only with
  other such Practitioners in their particular
  product and geographic market. As the market for
  physician services has evolved and antitrust
  enforcement has addressed anticompetitive
  conduct, competition has emerged along multiple
  dimensions. IPAS and PHOs compete for physician
  members and to contract with payors. The forms
  and modes of competition in the market for
  physician services will inevitably vary overtime
  as conditions and preferences change. Competition
  helps deliver an optimum mix of physician
  services at the lower cost and highest quality
