McKnight's Long-Term Care News; by Josh Henreckson; 7/18/24
One of the nation’s leading pharmacy companies has agreed to pay $100 million to resolve allegations of false claims and kickbacks in its dealings with long-term care providers. The legal claims against PharMerica have been ongoing in the District Court of New Jersey since 2011, when whistleblower Marc Silver accused the company of undercharging skilled nursing facilities for their Medicare Part A patients in order to secure more lucrative Medicare Part D and Medicaid contracts.
