The siege on Mylan surrounds its billing practices for its EpiPen Auto-Injector products that management wrongly classified as generic non-innovator drugs having little or no competition in the marketplace. The Company paid lower rebates than they were legally required to due to the misclassification.
According to Inside Health Policy, on September 2, 2016 the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) “informed Mylan that it incorrectly classified EpiPen as a generic under the Medicaid rebate program, which caused financial consequences for federal and state governments by reducing the amount of quarterly rebates Mylan owed for its product.” This news drove the price of Mylan securities down over 4%.
In addition, Bloomberg reported that CMS informed Mylan that EpiPen was incorrectly classified and potentially costing the government as much as $163 million in overpaid rebates. And, The Fiscal Times also reported that “[t]he incorrect classification appears to have cost the federal government more than $100 million in the last five years alone.”
Then, Mylan announced it resolved a separate U.S. Department of Justice investigation, agreeing to pay $465 million. In response the price of Mylan securities fell approximately 5% during the next two trading days to close at $35.94 per share on October 7, 2016.
“Management apparently knew about Mylan’s misclassification,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein. “We’re evaluating the excuses given for doing so for such a long time.”
Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding Mylan should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new SEC whistleblower program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.
