From 2013 to 2018, the drug wholesaler, BTW Solutions, allegedly offered physicians the pain creams at or near cost, billed the workers compensation program on behalf of the physicians at an exorbitant markup and then split the reimbursement with the physicians, according to a Dec. 30 news release from the Justice Department.
According to the release, the settlement marks the end of a years-long investigation during which the defendant fully cooperated.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
