Description
CureIS Healthcare, a health care technology company specializing in managed-care middleware software, is suing Epic for allegedly using its market dominance in electronic health record (EHR) and payer-administration systems to block competition, restrict data access, and interfere with CureIS’s customer relationships. CureIS claims that Epic engaged in anticompetitive conduct, including data access restrictions to eliminate CureIS as a competitor in the managed-care middleware market, in violation of federal antitrust laws, California unfair-competition statutes, and common-law torts.
