Speak No Evil: Asking Docs to Weigh In Became a $202 Million False Claims Act Settlement
On the surface, it was the perfect scam: kickbacks to docs in exchange for public speaking engagements, in order to induce them to prescribe drugs.
That’s apparently what Gilead Sciences thought.
But a whistleblower blew the whistle, and Gilead admitted to paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to high prescribers of their HIV drugs to serve as speakers at programs at luxury restaurants.
Famed whistleblower attorney Mary Inman, partner at Whistleblowers Partners, LLP, will report the savory details during the new live edition of Monitor Mondays, coming up at 10 a.m. EST on Monday, May 12.
The long-running broadcast will also include these instantly recognizable features:
• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.
• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.
• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.
• Legislative Update: Folan Houston, assistant general counsel for Zelis, will report on the news at the intersection of healthcare and congressional action.
• Field Report: Dr. Drew Updike continues his reporting on recent efforts by the Trump Administration to prevent providers from undertaking gender-affirming treatments for America’s LGBTQ+ population.
