SPECIAL EDITION SHOW:  We talked with Brian Dickerson with FisherBroyles Pharmacy Law Experts about the increasing Federal Government targeting pharmacy businesses. The FisherBroyles Pharmacy Law team has observed an increase in the Department of Justice and Department of Defense’s coordinated efforts to conduct investigations into alleged violations of the False Claims Act for claims submitted to TRICARE. Lately, the Department of Labor has joined the enforcement actions for what they perceive as alleged overbilling for compounded medications.

We believe similar national take-down raids are likely to occur in the future. MORE INFO HERE
