http://nofeeconcerttickets.com/ResultsTicket.aspx?evtid=xxxx535&event=Once Omnicare, headquartered in Covington, Kentucky, owns and operates approximately 204 long-term care pharmacies in 44 states. In xxxx, Omnicare had revenues totaling about $6.1 billion. PharMerica, headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, owns and operates approximately 97 long-term pharmacies in 43 states. In xxxx, PharMerica had revenues of approximately $1.8 billion.The FTC's Complaint. According to the FTC's complaint, Omnicare's proposed acquisition of PharMerica, the second-largest long-term care pharmacy in the United States, would be illegal and in violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act and Section 7 of the Clayton Act. The acquisition would combine the largest and only two national long-term care pharmacies in the country. The FTC alleges that the combined firm would serve approximately 57 percent of all licensed SNF beds in the United States. Under the Merger Guidelines used by the FTC and Department of Justice, a transaction that leads to that much market concentration would be presumed illegal. After the acquisition, the merged firm's only competition for inclusion in Part D plans' long-term care pharmacy networks would come from small, regional and local long-term care pharmacies, none of which currently operates in more than a few states.The FTC charges that, even before the transaction, Omnicare has been able to use its size to exert bargaining leverage over Part D health plans, by threatening to terminate contracts if its terms are not met. A firm that combines the largest and second-largest long-term care pharmacies in the country would have the unique ability to exert even greater bargaining power to raise the price of drugs to Part D health plans. Due to its substantial market share, the combined firm likely would be a "must have" for Part D health plans, the FTC contends. Losing contracts with a combined Omnicare/PharMerica would put the Part D health plans at serious risk of failing to meet CMS's "convenient access" standard. This increased risk would provide the combined firm with an anticompetitive advantage in negotiating prices it charges Part D health plans for long-term care pharmacy services. The Commission vote to issue the administrative complaint against Omnicare was 3-1, with Commissioner J. Thomas Rosch voting no. The case will be heard before an administrative law judge at the FTC in June xxxx.NOTE: The Commission issues an administrative complaint when it has "reason to believe" that the law has been or is being violated, and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest. The complaint is not a finding or ruling that the respondent has actually violated the law. The issuance of the administrative complaint marks the beginning of a proceeding in which the allegations will be tried in a formal hearing before an administrative law judge. The FTC's Bureau of Competition works with the Bureau of Economics to investigate alleged anticompetitive business practices and, when appropriate, recommends that the Commission take law enforcement action.

The court also has ordered the illegal conduct to stop while the FTC moves forward with the case.As part of its continuing crackdown on scams that target consumers in financial distress, the Federal Trade Commission alleged in its complaint that Eric C. Synstad and the Phoenix, Arizona-area company he controls, Premier Nationwide Corporation, falsely promised they would provide refunds if they could not significantly reduce consumers? debt. The defendants allegedly claimed they would either secure a new, low interest credit card or reduce the interest rates on current credit cards.The defendants violated both the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Telemarketing Sales Rule, according to the complaint. Changes made to the Rule in xxxx prohibit companies that sell debt relief services over the telephone from charging fees before achieving the promised results. Cold-calling consumers, the defendants allegedly said they would consolidate debts on a new credit card with an interest rate as low as 9 percent, or work with a consumer?s existing credit card issuers to lower monthly payments and interest rates ? in exchange for an up-front fee that typically ranged from $149 to $599. The defendants claimed the fee would quickly be offset by the savings achieved from services they provided, and promised that if they could not significantly reduce consumers? debt, they would provide full refunds, minus a 20 percent ?processing fee,? according to the complaint.The FTC alleges that in contrast to what the defendants promised, consumers who signed up for the credit card debt consolidation service were merely given a list of banks and told to apply for low-interest credit cards on their own. Those who signed up for the interest rate reduction were told they would have to pay an additional monthly fee to a different company that would work to obtain reduced monthly payments and interest rates. Also, in numerous cases, consumers who sought the promised refund were denied.Consumers looking for help with credit card debt should be wary of anyone who tells them to stop paying their bills, to pay someone other than their creditors, or to stop talking to their creditors. Consumers should also be careful about paying for financial assistance before they receive it.

The ban on advance fees under the Telemarketing Sales Rule protects all consumers who have enrolled in a debt relief service since October 27, xxxx.
