"Device manufacturers who pay illegal kickbacks should expect to be held accountable," said Daniel R. Levinson, HHS Inspector General. "OIG's compliance agreement with Bayer includes specific requirements for the board of directors and management that will enable OIG to closely monitor company practices affecting Federal health care programs and beneficiaries."
