Amgen’s use of taxpayer dollars to influence what doctors prescribed created significant risks for vulnerable patients in Illinois’ Medicaid program,” Madigan said.
Under the settlement, Amgen will pay overall $612 million in civil damages and penalties to compensate Medicaid, Medicare, and various federal health care programs.
Amgen also pled guilty to federal criminal charges related to drug labeling and FDA reporting.
The settlement was secured due to 10 whistleblowers who brought Amgen to heel.
