We learned about Anti-kick back laws that help to avoid companies buying referrals through rewards and services. Are there any recent examples that you can name of medical device companies that suffered from kickback allegations?

I’ll give one: http://www.startribune.com/may-29-kickback-charges-cost-medtronic-9-9m/260978651/

Medtronic was accused of paying doctors for using its defibrillators and pacemakers. Kickbacks included “gifts of wine and alcohol” and “trips to strip clubs.” The StarTribune article was dated 2014 and shows that anti-kickback laws are ways away from truly being effective. This case was settled after a $9.9 million payment.
