Lesson from RML's $1.1 Million Settlement: Beware of Carve-Outs and Pull-Through Arrangements
Karen Lovitch, Member and leader of Mintz’s Health Law practice, is quoted in this Laboratory Economics article on a settlement regarding self-reported violations of anti-kickback and self-referral laws. The conduct was disclosed to the Health and Human Service Office of Inspector General (OIG) in early 2015 but there was no admission of liability prior to the settlement more than a year later. Karen provides commentary on lessons learned from this matter.
