Abstract	The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of March 2010 instituted law for the creation of Accountable Care Organizations which began enrollment in Medicare’s Shared Savings Program in January 2012. Accountable Care Organizations will initially provide care to Medicare recipients with the hopes that private insurers will soon follow. However, the joining of healthcare entities in the creation of Accountable Care Organizations may increase the risk of violating antitrust regulations. With the increased risk it is important for healthcare administrators to have a proper understanding of the current antitrust regulations, the regulations put forth concerning Accountable Care Organizations, and how the Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice will enforce such regulations. Keywords: ACO, Accountable Care Organizations, Antitrust Regulations
