In 2002 whistleblower lawsuit was filed by a former employee against DaVita over its Epogen practices over a 10year period
On July 3, 2012, the Company announced the settlement of a Qui Tam Action, in connection with which the Company will pay $55million plus attorneys’ fees, resulting in a second quarter 2012 charge of $78 million.
In addition, so the lawsuit, federal authorities in Colorado have launched a grand jury investigation into DaVita’s billing practices, as well as alleged illegal kickbacks provided to referring physicians, in connection with which certain current and former directors and executive officers of the Company have received subpoenas to testify before the grand jury. Furthermore, so the plaintiff, numerous other investigations of the Company’s business practices are pending as well, including by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Missouri, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York, and the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services (“OIG”) in Dallas, Texas.
