Off-Label Promotion: Record-High Settlements Have the FDA and DOJ Wanting More
Product Details
ALERT: Fines and settlements are at an all-time high for off-label violations … the federal government has collected nearly $12 billion in fines by prosecuting healthcare fraud over the past 10 years.
HURRY, this event is taking place very soon!
The Justice Department is working on more than 200 investigations — involving up to 500 products — of pharmaceutical companies for alleged off-label violations. The government is broadening its enforcement efforts and is focusing on small companies, even “pure” off-label cases where there is no evidence of kickbacks or harm to Medicare or Medicaid.
To make matters even more confusing, the FDA has issued new rules allowing companies to distribute off-label information in medical journals even though the articles may promote product usage not approved by the agency.
