Orlando, Fla. - July 17, 2018 - Attorney George F. Indest III, President and Managing Partner of The Health Law Firm, was recently quoted by a reporter for Law360 concerning filing a class action antitrust law suit filed in federal court. Law360 is a news service and subsidiary of LexisNexis which publishes daily editions on various areas of the law. Mr. Indest is extensively quoted in an article regarding the antitrust class action filed by The Health Law Firm on July 11, 2018, on behalf of a group of dermatologists.

Mr. Indest is representing the dermatologists who are suing the American Board of Medical Specialties, Inc. (ABMS) and the American Board of Dermatology, Inc. The plaintiffs allege that the two defendants are conspiring and attempting to restrain trade in connection with their activities to cerate a medical subspecialty in Mohs surgery, a procedure that treats skin cancers. The plaintiffs are seeking an injunction prohibiting the defendants from limiting "in any way" their ability to perform and be paid for performing Mohs surgery if they are not certified in that subspecialty.

"My clients believe that because of all of the lobbying by the organizations and individuals promoting this new subspecialty recently, that it is very likely to pass, which is why they have resorted to litigation," Indest said.
