Settlement Amount:
$4,000,000
A settlement has been reached to resolve False Claims Act allegations against Pathway Genomics Corp.
The allegations arose from a lawsuit that claimed Pathway Genomics Corp, a San Diego-based medical diagnostic laboratory, was giving kickbacks to physicians in exchange for patient referrals. Pathway Genomics gave physicians and medical groups reimbursements of up to $20 for each saliva kit they collected and submitted to Pathway Genomics for testing. The claim also indicates the physicians received as much as $13,534 in reimbursement as part of the kickbacks from Pathway Genomics.
These allegations were brought forward by a former Pathway Genomics Corp employee.
