A Philips subsidiary agreed to pay approximately $1.3 million to settle charges it unlawfully paid kickbacks as part of its second resolution addressing alleged False Claims Act (FCA) violations this month.
Philips RS North America, formerly known as Respironics, manufactures durable medical equipment (DME) specializing in sleep aid products. The company unlawfully induced referrals for its equipment in violation of the FCA and anti-kickback statute, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced in a press release Thursday.
