Episode Description
John discusses our take on the important health care news that occurred in the second half of September. Our main stories this episode include the creation of OneOncology, a merger of three oncology groups, and a suit on the alleged illegal kickbacks regarding the prescription of Humira.
- Three large cancer practices have teamed up to create OneOncology. Announced Wednesday, OneOncology includes Tennessee Oncology, New York Cancer & Blood Specialists and Memphis-based West Cancer Center, comprising more than 225 providers and over 60 locations.
- California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones filed suit against AbbVie, alleging that the drugmaker gave illegal kickbacks to physicians to prescribe Humira (adalimubab). In court filings, the state alleges that AbbVie “systematically and repeatedly has violated the Insurance Frauds Prevention Act by providing kickbacks to health care providers throughout California.”
