The company has resolved the complaint filed by a qui tam relator in October 2017 in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina. The complaint was the basis of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) subpoena dated February 2018 regarding Medicare billing for the Company’s hereditary cancer testing from 2014 to 2018. After a 17-month investigation, the Department of Justice declined to intervene in the case. The Company believes it demonstrated that the key allegations made in the complaint were false. In order to avoid a lengthy and distracting litigation with the relator, the company entered into a settlement agreement on July 18, 2019 to resolve the matter for $9.1 million. That agreement is currently pending written government approval. The Company denies any wrongdoing and does not anticipate any material change in billing practices.
