False Claims Act Attorney: Settlement Involving Genzyme

As attorneys that represent individuals under the False Claims Act, we wanted to announce that the United States Government has intervened in a False Claims Act lawsuit against Genzyme Corpo, which has agreed to pay $22.3 million in a settlement in which two former sales representatives alleged that the company said a product cauled Seprafilm could be used in a type of surgery for which it was not approved. The whistleblower suit was filed under the False Claims Act in Florida.  Court documents of public record allege that the salesman encouraged doctors to use the product in a type of surgery in which it was not approved.  Those doctors then sought improper reimbursement claims with the federal government. Genzyme Corp. is owed by French drug company Sanofi.

While the share a relator can receive in a False Claims Act suit is between 15-30%, an attorney representing the sales representatives said the two relators hope for a 24% recovery, or about $5.2 million.

Medical device and drug companies cannot knowingly sell an unapproved product, and then seek reimbusement via federal health care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
