Title: Medtronic Settles Federal Case on Device Kickbacks
Summary: Medtronic paid doctors to implant their products (pacemakers and defibrillators). They are now paying the U.S. Justice Department $23.5 million dollars to settle this dispute. There are still two lawsuits pending in Minnesota and California. The Justice Department is still looking into other disputes with Medtronic (paying doctors not to report serious side effects with Medtronic’s devices).
