DaVita is a provider of Kidney care in the United States, delivering dialysis
services to patients with chronic kidney failure and end stage
renal disease. On July 25,
2011, the Company became the subject of a whistle-blower
lawsuit alleging that it submitted fraudulent claims for Medicare
reimbursement in violation of the False Claims Act. In
particular, the Company is accused of fraudulently manipulating
medication administration procedures, including dosage and vial
combination, to increase the unnecessary waste of certain dialysis
medications and obtain otherwise non-reimbursable charges.
For example, the Company is alleged to have used larger than
necessary vials of medicine knowing that Medicare would pay for the
unused portion of each vial if it were deemed unavoidable
waste. The Company now faces potential liability for
overbilling the government as much as $800
million. Shareholders interested in seeking to recover
damages on behalf of DaVita and to implement corporate governance
measures designed to prevent future misconduct should contact
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP.
