Civil Plaintiff
Hayat Pharmacy Settles a Federal Fraud Lawsuit For $2 Million
Hayat Pharmacy has agreed to pay more than $2 million to end a federal lawsuit alleging it defrauded Medicare and Medicaid.
The settlement follows a federal court case in which the U.S. Department of Justice argued that the pharmacy, which has 23 locations across Milwaukee, submitted more than 200 false claims to Medicare and Medicaid throughout 2019.
According to federal prosecutors, Hayat Pharmacy operated a two-part scheme: “dispense and submit claims for exorbitantly priced drugs that nobody needs and/or that nobody prescribed.”
