February 15, 2012—Dava Pharmaceuticals has agreed to pay 340B covered entities $185,557 as part of a settlement with the federal government and a whistleblower[1] over charges that it violated the federal False Claims Act by misreporting drug prices in order to reduce its Medicaid drug rebate and 340B drug discount obligations.

According to the Jan. 24 settlement, which the U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) announced on Feb. 8, Dava, which is based in New Jersey, agreed to “use its best efforts to identify affected [340B covered] entities and the amounts they were overcharged for purchases of Dava’s versions of the drugs cefdinir, clarithromycin, methotrexate, and/or rheumatrex.”
