The following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency. If the matter is being appealed, it will be noted below.
On July 21, 2020, Progenity Inc entered into a Settlement Agreement with the Department of Justice. The Assurance settles allegations that the business submitted fraudulent bills to TRICARE, the Department of Defense health care benefit program, and to the Federal Health Care Employee Benefits Program, for clinical tests that it knew were not covered or properly payable by either program. The business offered noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) to pregnant women, which was not covered by TRICARE. The business falsely and fraudulently used a medical billing code that TRICARE covered, but did not accurately reflect the NIPT test. The business admitted that it offered improper incentives to patients and doctors to use its laboratory services. Under terms of the settlement, the business agreed to pay a total of $49 million to the Southern District of California and the Southern District of New York.
This action is final.
