“Do the Crime, Pay the Fine:” DaVita to Pay$34 million to Resolve Allegations of Illegal Kickbacks
Denver-based DaVita Inc. has agreed to pay slightly more than $34 million to resolve allegations that it violated the False Claims Act (FCA).
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) reported in a news release that DaVita paid kickbacks to induce referrals to DaVita Rx, a former subsidiary that provided pharmacy services for dialysis patients, directing the payments to nephrologists and vascular access physicians.
During the next live edition of Monitor Mondays, famed whistleblower attorney Mary Inman will report the details on this amazing story, focusing on the provisions of the Anti-Kickback Statute that prohibit anyone to induce referrals of patients or items for services covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and other federally funded programs.
Other broadcast segments will 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.
• Legislative Update: Kate Choe, an undergraduate student at Brown University who is also interning at Zelis, will report on current healthcare legislation.
• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.
