Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan has intervened in a whistleblower lawsuit alleging that Chicago area radiology centers paid illegal kickbacks to referring doctors.
The suit was originally filed by a private plaintiff on behalf of the state. It alleges violation of the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, as well as Illinois’ anti-kickback law, the Insurance Claims Fraud Prevention Act.
The Attorney General’s press release was issued on January 17, 2007.
