PathwayGenomics付款4百万美元用于回扣指控
分析测试百科网讯 政府机构近日宣布，Pathway Genomics已同意支付约4百万美元用于解决美国司法部的指控，指控其向医生和医生组织非法支付回扣以交换转诊病人。 美国律师Laura Duffy在声明中说道：“给医疗服务提供者回扣用于换取病人的转诊削弱医师的医疗判断，并且利用了患者的信任。给医生安排回扣也是让重要纳税人的资金面临风险。” 该公司并没有承认有任何不当行为，但表示之所以选择来解决此事，是为了“保持专注业务增长，避免潜在的冗长诉讼程序的时间和费用。” 2014年8月，美国司法部在南加州地方法院提起诉讼，控告Pathway Genomics，指控该公司违反False Claims Amendments Act，通过招收医生和医疗机构，推荐病人进行该公司基因测试，每一位都将获得最高20美元的补偿项目。然后Pathway Genomics从来自政府的测试中获利。 诉讼指控这些付款被称为“征用费”或“加工和处理......阅读全文
