Under the terms of the civil settlement, Care-Fusion will pay $40.1 million to the states and the federal government. Georgia’s portion of the settlement is approximately $124,000. The settlement resolves a whistleblower lawsuit under the provisions of the federal False Claims Act and analogous state False Claims statutes.
