AIBioTech Settles Government Complaint
RICHMOND, Va. --(Business Wire)--
American International Biotechnology, LLC ("AIBioTech") recently reached
a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice to fully resolve
allegations about a contract sales agent's actions in connection with
certain laboratory tests ordered by a certified registered nurse
practitioner employed by Greentree Medical Center ("Greentree"), Rices
Landing, PA. AIBioTech denies any wrongdoing. It chose to settle the
matter to avoid the delay, uncertainty, inconvenience, and expense of
litigation.
The case relates to claims for laboratory tests from a single physician
practice overless than five months that occurred more than one year
ago. AIBioTech had no knowledge of the alleged actions of the contract
sales agent, and only learned of the action on receipt of the complaint;
it did not approve or sanction the actions of the sales agent. AIBioTech
conducted laboratory tests based on orders signed by a properly licensed
and enrolled nurse practitioner. AIBioTech was unaware of any
impropriety with the test orders.
AIBioTech continues to focus its full attention on delivering
high-quality laboratory testing services to its patients in full
compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
