Whistleblower Retaliation

Whistle-blower settlement with UMDNJ for employee's claims of retaliation for blowing the whistle against UMDNJ's illegal kickback scheme to hire local cardiologists (in no show jobs) in exchange for the referral of patients. The internal controversy over the cardiologists came to light after the university’s former chief of the Division of Cardiology settled a whistle-blower lawsuit in state Superior Court in June, which charged that UMDNJ broke the law and then forced him out when he objected to the plan. Skirting federal law that forbids kickbacks for patient referrals, the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey paid at least nine local cardiologists in private practice salaries and stipends as high as $150,000 to become “clinical assistant professors” in an effort to increase the number of patients in the university’s troubled heart surgery program.
