Our Experience

BioPharma Named Defendant in Medicaid Overpayment Case Case Study
Mintz secured a full release of a biopharmaceutical company in a Louisiana state court case over alleged inflated drug price reporting. The client agreed to a nuisance value settlement of the case, resolving claims its actions cost the state’s Medicaid program more than $20 million.

Our Approach

Our health law attorneys provide advice on the full spectrum of issues related to participation in government health care programs — Medicare (Parts A, B, C, and D), Medicaid, TRICARE, the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, and third-party managed care and commercial payor networks. We counsel providers on complex Medicaid matters and other state rate-setting matters.

We have a uniquely integrated reimbursement and FDA team. Our attorneys guide clients with new drugs, devices, and products on coverage, coding, and payment pathways while looking around the corner at potential FDA approval pathways. Many of these elements are distinct, but none should be considered in a vacuum.
