CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Mecklenburg Medical Group says a group of doctors is suing Atrium Health, formerly known as Carolinas HealthCare.
The lawsuit would allow the Mecklenburg Medical Group to operate independently of Atrium Health’s system.
The lawsuit claims Atrium, which is a non-profit institution, is ‘acting as the exact opposite of the non-profit health care provider that it claims to be.’
Another part of the lawsuit states:
This action is brought to remedy the self-serving monopolistic and anticompetitive actions of Atrium that threaten the ability of more than 90 physicians in the Charlotte community to continue to provide high quality, cost-effective care to thousands of patients as they have done for more than 81 years.
