Genotox Laboratories agreed to pay at least $5.9 million to settle charges it violated the False Claims Act (FCA) by paying volume-based commissions to third-party marketers and submitting claims to federal healthcare programs for unnecessary drug tests.
As part of the settlement, Texas-based Genotox entered into a five-year corporate integrity agreement with the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General. In a parallel proceeding, the lab entered into an 18-month deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Texas.
The settlement resolves claims brought under the qui tam provisions of the FCA by Alex DiGiacomo, Genotox’s former billing manager. He will receive approximately $1 million as part of the settlement.
