A decision by the Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld a decision that found Pfizer subsidiary, Pharmacia, Inc., guilty of defrauding the state’s Medicaid program by inflating wholesale prices of medications to increase kickbacks that doctors, pharmacists, and the drug manufacturer would receive. A jury found Pharmacia, Inc. guilty of 4,578 Medicare fraud violations, and the company was ordered to pay $13.5 million in damages. The company appealed the decision on the basis that the jury had incorrectly calculated the fraud counts, but the Supreme Court unanimously upheld the decision.
