BOSTON — Efforts by the biggest health care system in Massachusetts to become even bigger have received another challenge, this time by a key state board.
The Health Policy Commission found Wednesday that Partners HealthCare's proposed takeover of Hallmark Health System, which runs two community hospitals north of Boston, would reinforce Partners' market power, raise spending on medical care by up to $23 million per year, and increase premiums for employers and consumers.
The Boston Globe (http://bit.ly/1khIgYq ) reports that the panel asked Partners and Hallmark to submit more information.
The Health Policy Commission also had concerns about Partners' bid to acquire South Shore Hospital in Weymouth. Attorney General Martha Coakley brokered a deal with Partners that would allow it to complete the acquisition of South Shore. A judge is considering the deal.
