Kirby McInerney Procures Settlement in Bristol-Myers Squibb Medicaid Fraud Suit

Kirby McInerney is proud to announce that a team of our attorneys led by partner Joanne Cicala has procured a $11.5 million settlement in a Medicaid fraud suit against Bristol-Myers Squibb (“BMS”). The firm represented 43 New York Counties and the City of New York in this litigation. The recovery represents nearly the full value of the City/County Claims against BMS. Plaintiffs alleged that BMS caused the publication of fraudulent and inflated Average Wholesale Prices (AWPs) for their drugs, on which Medicaid payments are based. Joanne and her team continue to work on procuring further recoveries for our clients from the other defendants.
