United Therapeutics Reveals Details of Potential Settlement

On July 27, 2017, United Therapeutics disclosed that it set aside $210 million for a possible settlement related to an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice involving the company's donations to nonprofit organizations that give patients financial assistance to pay their out-of-pocket drug expenses. The investigation concerns whether these financial contributions violate the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute and the Federal False Claims Act.
