The former assistant general counsel at Panoramic Health is suing her former employer alleging wrongful termination after flagging safe harbor violations of the Anti-Kickback Statue.
Leah Turlington, who worked for Panoramic from November 2023 to April, was recruited to the company by a former colleague, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado.
The former colleague served as chief legal, compliance, and privacy officer at Panoramic. After joining Panoramic, Turlington received positive performance reviews, including being informed by the former colleague, then her direct supervisor, that she was eligible for a “promotion, a significant raise, and stock options,” the lawsuit stated.
