PathwayGenomics付款4百萬美元用于回扣指控
分析測試百科網訊 政府機構近日宣布，Pathway Genomics已同意支付約4百萬美元用于解決美國司法部的指控，指控其向醫生和醫生組織非法支付回扣以交換轉診病人。 美國律師Laura Duffy在聲明中說道：“給醫療服務提供者回扣用于換取病人的轉診削弱醫師的醫療判斷，并且利用了患者的信任。給醫生安排回扣也是讓重要納稅人的資金面臨風險。” 該公司并沒有承認有任何不當行為，但表示之所以選擇來解決此事，是為了“保持專注業務增長，避免潛在的冗長訴訟程序的時間和費用。” 2014年8月，美國司法部在南加州地方法院提起訴訟，控告Pathway Genomics，指控該公司違反False Claims Amendments Act，通過招收醫生和醫療機構，推薦病人進行該公司基因測試，每一位都將獲得最高20美元的補償項目。然后Pathway Genomics從來自政府的測試中獲利。 訴訟指控這些付款被稱為“征用費”或“加工和處理......閱讀全文
