Biotronik, Inc, the Lake Oswego medical device manufacturing firm, will pay $4.9 million to the federal government to resolve allegations that the firm paid kickbacks to doctors in Nevada and Arizona to use its products.
The settlement was sparked by a whistleblower lawsuit known as a qui tam, which U.S. Department of Justice agreed to join in federal civil court.
According to the settlement, Biotronik continues to deny the allegations – echoing statements executives told The Oregonian last year. “We are really clean when it comes to our relationships with physicians,” Biotronik’s U.S. president, Jake Langer, said last summer.
