Omnicare, Inc., which calls itself "the nation's leading provider of pharmaceutical care for seniors," paid $283,000 to settle Medicaid fraud charges by the State of Delaware. Delaware alleged that the pharmacy had committed Medicaid fraud by illegally switching the drugs of senior citizens in nursing homes and other facilities. Omnicare's conduct had originally been reported by a Chicago pharmacist whistleblower, who was fired by Omnicare after reporting the switching. Today's settlement resulted from a "qui tam" suit filed under the Delaware False Claims Act.
