Sacramento Federal Prosecutors Win $4.9M Settlement Over Medical Device Kickback Scheme
On Thursday, the U.S. attorney’s office in Sacramento announced a $4.9 million settlement with a German medical device manufacturer that allegedly paid kickbacks to doctors. The case against Biotronik was brought by a Sacramento law firm, Kershow Cutter & Ratinoff, in 2009 on behalf of a company sales representative who alleged that doctors were given incentives to use Biotronik devices for their patients.
