Humana has agreed to pay $90 million to the federal government to settle a whistleblower lawsuit. The suit, filed under the False Claims Act, alleged that Humana submitted fraudulent bids for Medicare Part D prescription drug contracts. The whistleblower, a former actuary of the company, accused the health insurer of overcharging the U.S. government for prescription drugs. The settlement concludes nearly two years of litigation.
