Laboratory Corporation of America (Labcorp) agreed to pay $2.1 million to settle allegations the company overbilled the Department of Defense (DoD) for genetic tests performed by a third party.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the settlement Monday for violations of the False Claims Act (FCA). The complaint against Labcorp was originally filed by a former employee, Donna Hecker-Gross, under the qui tam provisions of the FCA. Hecker-Gross will receive $357,000 from the settlement amount.
The details: Labcorp entered into a contract with the DoD in 2012 to provide testing services for U.S. military worldwide. The company then subcontracted with GeneDx to conduct specialty genetic tests. GeneDx billed LabCorp for the tests, and Labcorp would then bill the DoD.
