Nurse Educator Investigation

If that’s the case the fines will be big and the firings will be massive. More states to follow CA filing but that’s ok because Uncle Abbvie has deep pockets.

Isn't fine tripled in cases of federal/state fraud? That is many billions...

The side effects are reported to the company. The patient is told to tell their Dr. and to call the company. The rep who heard about the side effects must report to the company even if the Dr. or patient do/will not. It's that way with all pharma. You can't leave the reporting to the Dr or patient because often it won't happen

I imagine the Nurse Ambassador Managers are in panic mode especially the one who managed the CA whistleblower. That manager is in some deep shit! The “I was just doing what the company told me to do” defense won’t fly in a court of law. Everyone will have to lawyer up on their own Abbvie doesn’t pick up to tab on legal.

He is a fool. This won’t have legs in court.

Ahhhh!! Well now this whole thing makes more sense now! There’s no way this stands in court. I would also bet here they don’t even settle. They will fight this tooth and nail.

The nurses did and do a fantastic job. They only see patients after prescribing decision has been made. If patients states they have concerns about side effects they are told not to begin treatment until they speak to their doctor. AE ALWAYS REPORTED. Phone calls recorded. This fool is looking for a pay day made on false acquisations. Abbvie also needs to look into his criminal background as an EMT. FEB 2005 Miami dade fire department. A vile man who is trying to discredit nurses. There is an army of us who worked with these patients and will stand up for what is right.

I didn’t read all 300 pages but what about this program so bad? Or was it that little scummy realtor contract RN just disgruntled? Obv all their crap is approved and others mentioned the side effect thing but it’s a product AE and that’s what you do - report it internally. These people are not prending to be nurses delivering care - it’s a fancy call center. If I told my Discover card agent my dick fell off do you think they would report it to my doc? I’m sure the patient calls are recorded too so I bet this is all one heaping pile of BS at the end of the day.

I bet the Insurance Commissioner files a lawsuit for a heaping pile of BS frequently.

The hits just keep on coming. They just settled AndroGel now the Nurse Ambassadors. This is going to take on a life of its own.

Rick and company will have no doubt their television debut on American Greed.

nurses also bonused if patient stayed on drug not bonused if came off drug due too side effects or drug not working

Really?? I work at Abbvie and have had interactions with the ambassadors, but had no idea they received bonuses if patient stayed on therapy? Are you sure of this??

Ask them key perf Indic were based on patients being on drug at a certain cut off so nurse may delay calls if pt may come off drug or get patient to graduate early so they dont effect their numbers it is a strange and unethical way to support pts it becomes a sales game because the goal is getting enough patients on drug and staying on drug and putting nurse $$$ and reviews around those numbers

It’s called Adherence....kinda like if you buy an iPhone and Genius Bar helps you set it up and use it. How unethical!!!

The real shadiness in this program stems from how hard Abbvie upper management pushed sales reps to promote the NA program. They put a higher priority on "selling" NA than selling Humira! Motive is obvious, lock patients in with a NA, so they stay on Humira!
