The new agreement calls for Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals to continue as a provider of MRI contrast media to HealthTrust for the next three years.
The agreement, which was effective September 1, 2007, extends through August 31, 2010, and includes 5, 10, 15 and 20 mL single-dose vials, 50 and 100 mL pharmacy bulk packages, and 10, 15 and 20 mL pre-filled syringes of Magnevist.
