Are people paying attention to the daily departures? It is becoming a daily update on who is leaving. The bleeding is increasing and no one can stop this continual decline of madness. About one out of every 5 is announced. Isn't that interesting?
Let's see, over the past couple of weeks, to Sr. Leaders departed. TM and as of today JB.
Just within the past three business days, one regional manager, JG, and two additional sales managers have departed. One from Atlanta, RW, and one from Houston, JM.
On a amazing fact, each and every individual who has resigned, has given her or his two weeks notice. In each case, the offers where accepted, but made effective immediately. I do not know of a single individual who has been able to complete their two weeks notice.
Pretty amazing how this company is ran by JP, KO, and AA. This is the worst nightmare ever!
I cannot believe that there is no criminal investigation taking place. Surly one of the local new organizations would be interested in a real-time modern reality show.
The Wall Street Journal reported an HHS/OIG Investigation a few months ago.
Special Fraud Alert: Laboratory Payments to Referring Physicians, June 25, 2014
Summary
This Special Fraud Alert addresses compensation paid by laboratories to referring physicians and physician group practices for specimen collection, processing, and packaging. OIG has repeatedly emphasized that providing free or below-market goods or services to a physician who is a source of referrals, or paying such a physician more than fair market value for his or her services, constitutes illegal remuneration under the anti-kickback statute. This Special Fraud Alert describes the specific trend OIG has identified involving transfers of value from laboratories to physicians that we believe present a substantial risk of fraud and abuse under the anti-kickback statute.
The Wall Street Journal article also specifically mentioned payments for sample collection as a violation of anti-kickback laws, http://online.wsj.com/articles/a-fast-growing-medical-lab-tests-anti-kickback-law-1410143403.
Would you happen to know the specific phone number of the OIG that is handling this investigation? I would like to report fraud to him and give specific information - including the copy of the paperwork that PG has the phyisican offices sign.
I am told that PG has paid some physicians as much as $5-10,000 in processing, referral fees.
It's been quiet for over 1 week on this board, any new juicy gossipy or scandals? How about any more departures?
There is only one rep left in the entire state of California. Pathway is so horrible to reps that they cannot even employee people in the state the set up shop in. I heard there are still 3 reps in Washington though. Which makes no sense. But the again nothing they do makes any sense so it's par for the course.
They are at ASHG. Everything looks fine.
She is still here but looking to get out like the rest of us.
They are at ASHG. Everything looks fine.
