My suspicion remains as it was when they first announced the proposed rule, that this will shift a lot of work to common-law unfair-competition law while providing little tangible benefit in states that already imposed significant limits on such agreements. (Though I think vermin's points about medical specialists is probably spot-on.)

What will be particularly interesting with doctors is how this interacts with broader trends involving payor organizations acquiring practice groups.
