Biogen Accused of Kickbacks
A former Biogen Idec Inc. manager accused the company of providing illegal discounts to doctors in an effort to increase sales of flagging products, including its psoriasis drug Amevive, Tuesday's Wall Street Journal reported. In a lawsuit filed last month, the former employee, whose job entailed arranging payments for its products from federal insurance programs, said the company used a combination of free samples and price discounts to compensate doctors who ordered the drugs for patients but later were denied reimbursement by insurers.
