• Humana Inc. filed suit against Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Thursday in the Southern District of New York over allegations that the pharmaceutical company engaged in a scheme with the Chronic Disease Foundation. The plaintiff claims that as a result of this purported scheme, which they believe is a “sham charity,” the two parties defrauded Medicare and its contracted payors out of hundreds of millions of dollars.

• The plaintiff said that Regeneron inflated the price of Eylea and then provided illegal kickbacks to the CDF, which then used the tainted donations they received from Regeneron to cover cost-sharing obligations for patients so that they would continue to choose Eylea rather than its less expensive alternatives.
