Kentucky To Receive Millions In Drug Settlement
Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway has announced Kentucky will receive approximately $5.4 million as part of a health care fraud settlement from criminal and civil lawsuits filed against drug giant Pfizer. Nine lawsuits were filed against Pfizer alleging the company paid kickbacks to doctors and health care professionals to use Pfizer products while the company marketed drugs for use not approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
