UnitedHealthcare accuses Dallas labs of $100 million fraud involving kickbacks for bogus drug tests
One of the nation’s biggest insurers, UnitedHealthcare, has sued a Dallas-based laboratory network, alleging the owners paid millions in bribes and kickbacks to doctors and other providers between 2011 and 2016 for overpriced and unnecessary drug and genetic tests. Next Health’s sales consultants gave people $50 gift cards to urinate in cups at Whataburger bathrooms, the lawsuit says.
