Bio Reference Health, LLC, formerly known as Bio Reference Laboratories, Inc., (Bio Reference) and OPKO Health, Inc. (OPKO) have agreed to pay $9.85 million to resolve alleged violations of the False Claims Act. The government alleges that BioReference rented office space from physicians and then paid those physician-landlords above-market rent so that the physicians would send their laboratory business to BioReference. BioReference, a subsidiary of OPKO, is headquartered in New Jersey and is one of the largest clinical laboratories in the United States.
