ATLANTA (February 23, 2017) --- Weinberg Wheeler Hudgins Gunn & Dial client UnitedHealthcare’s (UHC) recent lawsuit garners national media attention in Bloomberg BNA, Dallas News, Law360 and Southeast Texas Record. UHC, represented by Steve Mooney of WWHGD, sued Dallas-based Next Health LLC and its subsidiaries for allegedly defrauding the insurer of more than $100 million over several years in a physician and referral source kickback scheme.

The alleged kickback scheme involves unnecessary and expensive drug testing that cost the insurer millions. UnitedHealthcare is not the first to suspect alleged kickback schemes. According to the Law360, “the U.S. Department of Justice recently indicted several executives, surgeons, physicians and others in connection with a similar illegal kickback conspiracy at Forrest Park Medical Center.”
