CEO SUMMARY: Court documents filed last month in the federal qui tam case against Health Diagnostic Laboratory, Singulex, Berkeley Heart Lab, BlueWave Healthcare Consultants, and several lab executives allege that the defendants used illegal inducements and kickbacks to file false claims and generate payments of $500 million from Medicare and Tricare. This money was paid in just 60 months, from 2010 through 2014. Add up payments to the defendants from private insurers-two of whom are suing HDL-and the total could be as much as $1.2 billion.
