A PHARMACIST in South
Carolina, USA will receive more
than $5 million as part of a
settlement by a Pennsylvania
company which has been ordered
to pay US$34 million to settle
claims it had paid kickbacks to
medical suppliers.
The US department of justice
said Respironics illegally provided
free call centre services to medical
suppliers which purchased
Respironics masks for patients with
sleep apnoea.
Authorities were alerted to the
scheme by pharmacist Gibran
Ameer who had worked for a
number of the medical suppliers.
Respironics has not admitted guilt
in the case, but is also required
to repay hundreds of thousands
of dollars to several state
governments it allegedly defrauded
via the Medicaid program.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 20 Apr 16 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 20 Apr 16
