Sandra Chan

Ms. Chan specializes in health care, including competition between hospitals, physician groups and other health care providers, and health insurance companies. She routinely manages teams to analyze large health care claims data (e.g., data from health plans, hospitals, physician groups, etc.) and government health care data (e.g., state discharge data, state all-payers claims data, and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services data, etc.). She also has experience in a broad range of other industries, including retail, manufacturing, and technology.

Ms. Chan regularly assists clients in getting FTC/DOJ clearance for proposed mergers. This work involves defining relevant product and geographic markets, measuring market concentration and competitive intensity, evaluating conditions of entry and efficiencies, and assessing horizontal and vertical competitive effects. She is also well-versed in working with clients and merging parties to simplify the Second Request process and achieving “substantial compliance” in a timely manner. This Second Request data is often leveraged to support advocacy work.

Ms. Chan has extensive experience managing projects using large, complex data.  She also co-leads CRA’s Antitrust & Competition Economics practice cloud computing/big data team to ensure that we can quickly process and analyze the ever-growing data sizes and provide solutions to client questions and requests.
