Here is an excerpt:

Codes of ethics. A professional code of ethics may be unlawful if it 
unreasonably restricts the ways professionals may compete. Several years 
ago, for example, the FTC ruled that certain provisions of the American 
Medical Association?s code of ethics restricted doctors from participating 
in alternative forms of health care delivery, such as managed health care 
programs, in violation of the antitrust laws. The case opened the door for 
greater competition in health care.
