The investigation by a law firm focuses on possible claims on behalf of purchasers of the securities of BioScrip Inc (NASDAQ:BIOS) concerning whether a series of statements by BioScrip regarding its business, its prospects and its operations were materially false and misleading at the time they were made.
On September 23, 2013, BioScrip Inc disclosed that the Company received a civil investigative demand issued by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and a subpoena from the New York State Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, regarding the distribution of the Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation product Exjade(R) by the Company’s legacy specialty pharmacy division.
On September 30, 2013, a lawsuit was filed against BioScrip over alleged Securities Laws Violations. The plaintiff alleges that the Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that BioScrip Inc improperly distributed the product Exjade through its specialty pharmacy operations, that BioScrip Inc was in violation of certain federal and state laws and regulations, and that as a result of the foregoing BioScrip’s statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On January 8, 2014 U.S. Department of Justice disclosed that BioScrip agreed to forfeit $15 million for the Company’s alleged participation in an alleged kickback scheme with Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation related to Novartis’s product Exjade.
On March 31, 2015, a federal judge denied, in part, a motion to dismiss the lawsuit was filed on September 30, 2013 against BioScrip over alleged Securities Laws Violations.
