Kirby McInerney LLP is investigating potential claims against
the Board of Directors of DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. (“DaVita”
or the “Company”) (NYSE:DVA) concerning a final settlement
agreement in the pending 2010 and 2011 U.S. Attorney Physician
Relationship Investigations of the Company.
On October 22, 2014, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”)
announced that it entered into a Settlement Agreement with DaVita
regarding the Company’s violations of certain provisions of the
False Claims Act. The DOJ and other federal agencies alleged that
the Company engaged in improperly structured joint ventures with
certain physician partners. Under the terms of the Settlement
Agreement, the Company will pay $350 million to the United States
plus a civil forfeiture of $39 million. The Company has also agreed
in principle to settle certain state Medicaid claims for $11.5
million.
In addition, the DOJ announced that DaVita has entered into a
five-year Corporate Integrity Agreement with the Office of
Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services,
which will subject the Company to expanded compliance-related
requirements including the retention of an independent monitor to
oversee certain future joint ventures, a repayment to the
government, and a provision requiring executive certification of
quarterly and annual compliance reports.
