Novo Settles U.s. Probe Of Kickbacks, Disguised Salespeople
Unsealed whistle-blower suit outlines illegal marketing claims Diabetes drugs made up 80 percent of Novo’s 2016 revenue Novo Nordisk A/S has agreed to settle a U.S. probe of its marketing of diabetes drugs that allegedly included disguising salespeople as medical educators and paying kickbacks to persuade doctors to prescribe its medicines. The allegations were disclosed when a whistle-blower lawsuit was unsealed by a judge. The U.S. Justice Department investigation, which began in 2011, focused on claims of illegal marketing of the Danish insulin supplier’s top-selling Victoza diabetes drug and other products, according to Novo’s 2016 annual report. “We’ve reached an agreement in principle to settle certain claims related to this investigation,” Ken Inchausti, a U.S.-based spokesman for Novo, said in an emailed statement Friday. “The process is not finalized, and as such we can’t provide further comment on this matter at this time.” Inchausti said the whistle-blower suit was unsealed Thursday as part of the settlement. Nicole Navas, a DOJ spokeswoman, didn’t immediately return a call and email seeking comment on the Novo accord. The suit was filed by two whistle-blowers who claimed the company violated U.S. law by wrongfully inducing doctors to write prescriptions for Victoza that were covered by federal health-insurance programs. The lawsuit targeted Bagsvaerd, Denmark-based Novo’s key products. Diabetes treatments accounted for almost 80 percent of the company’s 111.78 billion kroner ($16.3 billion) of revenue in 2016. The drug sales have increased more than 75 percent in the past five years, rising to 88.95 billion kroner in 2016 from 50.43 billion in 2011. Since 2006, Novo officials have “engaged in an unlawful marketing and kickback schem Continue reading >>

Healing In Houston Through Faith And Diabetes
Healing in Houston Through Faith and Diabetes An innovative program in Houston empowers members of faith communities to lead diabetes education, peer support, and prevention efforts in their communities When considering a typical diabetes care team, a few key individuals may jump to mind a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, diabetes educator, dietitian or nutritionist, and perhaps a physical therapist and a few other healthcare professionals. Who is left out of this picture? Your faith leader and you, says Ardis A. Reed, a Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) from TMF Health Quality Institute, Austin, Texas and one of the main facilitators of the Faith and Diabetes Initiatives Congregational Health Leadership training program. By integrating faith into diabetes awareness and support, the Faith and Diabetes Initiative in Houston adds a new twist to the traditional diabetes care team. Lay members of various religious communities are trained to provide an evidence-based diabetes education curriculum, peer support, and prevention programs in their houses of worship, whether churches, mosques, synagogues or temples. The inaugural class graduated from this training program this month in Houston, with graduates sharing their plans to kick off diabetes support and management programs in their respective congregations and faith communities. The Faith and Diabetes Initiative is part of Cities Changing Diabetes (CCD) a program of Novo Nordisk that supports diabetes awareness, care, education, and prevention in twelve partner cities around the world. Houston, where over 30% of adults are affected by obesity and 15.6% have diabetes , was a natural choice to be CCDs partner city in the US. With sprawling highways, limited public transportation, and a fast food density higher than the state of Continue reading >>

It has become something of a taboo in our society to say you dont want to be a leader especially if you are one. Richard Hytner, a former CEO at the global advertising giant Saatchi & Saatchi, experienced it firsthand and is trying to break that stigma. - Lillian Cunningham, Editor, On Leadership, The Washington Post Hytner notes that talent development, for example, is crucial to companies now, so the lack of a great track record for hiring, inspiring, and keeping star employees sometimes trips up aspiring CEOs. He argues convincingly that a great team of a chief executive and a number two is a more successful proposition than a solitary leader. Mr Hytner describes the various types of consiglieri lodestones, educators, anchors and deliverers, according to his segmentation. Richard Hytner, deputy chairman of London-based advertising giant Saatchi & Saatchi, thinks corporate understudies are too often overlooked.

Novo Nordisk Has Been Accused Of Engaging In A 'white Coat Marketing Scheme' To Sell Diabetes Drugs
Danish pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk is being accused of engaging in a "white coat marketing scheme" to entice doctors to prescribe three of its diabetes drugs — NovoLog, Levimir, and Victoza. Together these three drugs made Novo Nordisk $6 billion in sales in 2013, comprising 10% of the company's worldwide sales for the year, according to the complaint. Specifically, whistleblowers allege that the company illegally hired Certified Diabetes Educators (CDEs) and employed them as sales reps, and then sent them into doctors offices to promote the drug through its "Changing Life with Diabetes Program." The suit claims that, because the company's sales reps were titled as CDEs, they got unprecedented access to doctors. However, "they were sales representatives in every way except title." Once inside the CDE's allegedly educated doctors for free. Novo Nordisk, for its part, is a member of the powerful PhRMA lobby, which prohibits member companies from exchanging free medical education for prescriptions. The government is jumping in because these drugs are all covered by federal health insurance programs — Medicaid, Medicare, and Tricare. And t he suit could be a sign that, in an effort to reduce costs, the government is focusing on its reimbursement of drugs. Novo Nordisk has responded to Business Insider's request for comment with the following statement: “In February 2011, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts served Novo Nordisk with a subpoena calling for the production of documents regarding potential civil and criminal offences relating to the company’s marketing and promotional practices for the following products: NovoLog®, Levemir® and Victoza®. This matter is being conducted by the US Attorney for the District of Columbia. We� Continue reading >>

Novo Nordisk Settles Qui Tam Suit
Novo Nordisk is in the midst of settling a whistleblower lawsuit that alleges that the company ran a white-coat marketing scheme to pump up sales of NovoLog, Victoza, and Levemir. The complaint was recently unsealed as part of the settlement process and alleges that Novo Nordisk partnered up with a clinical education company, Healthstars PT, to set up a program Changing Life with Diabetes which hired and trained certified diabetes educators. The whistleblowers, two former managers, claim that since 2006, Novo ran the program to gain access to physician practices, where the educators would provide thousands of dollars worth of educational programs and materials, including: free patient education and seminars; free in-office training; free Novo-branded log books to give patients; and unlimited access to go to diabetes experts for patients. The lawsuit alleges that Novo Nordisk attempted to bypass rules established by theU.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)regarding promotional materials and communications from sales professionals. The lawsuit said that the value of having a diabetes educator calling on a doctor cannot be understated because they provide materials and education that could cost doctors thousands of dollars. The suit further claims that because the certified diabetes educators were not titled as sales representatives, they received unprecedented access to physicians. However, they were sales representatives in every way except title. Allegedly, the program was meant to induce prescribers to write prescriptions for Novos diabetes medications, and the educators would develop a close bond with doctors (closer than the bond sales representatives can forge) and sales of the drugs were extraordinarily boosted because of the program.
