Inform Diagnostics Will Pay $16 Million to Resolve Allegations of Unnecessary Medical Testing
On behalf of its client, Dr. Christopher Wallace, the law firm of Morgan Verkamp, LLC (with attorneys in Cincinnati, Ohio, Boston, Massachusetts, and Tampa, Florida) is pleased to announce that the United States has resolved allegations of medically unnecessary pathology testing with Inform Diagnostics, Inc., formerly known as Miraca Life Sciences, Inc.
Inform is a clinical laboratory, headquartered in Irving, Texas, that provides clinical pathology laboratory services to physicians and medical practices nationwide.
Dr. Wallace, a former pathologist at Inform, filed suit against the laboratory in January 2019, alleging violations of the False Claims Act, a law that allows whistleblowers to bring a case on behalf of the United States that alleges fraud on the government. The case is United States ex rel. Wallace v. Inform Diagnostics, Inc., and the case number is 19-cv-10091. The matter was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
