B) True, because although MFN clauses are not per se illegal, they violate antitrust laws if they have a predatory purpose and an anticompetitive effect.
A) True, because the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ruled that MFN clauses are not per se illegal and the FTC encourages health plans to include them in provider contracts.
