Pfizer to Pay Record Fine in Fraud Probe
Date:9/2/2009

Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, said: "The Department of Health and Human Services will continue to seek opportunities to work with its government partners to prosecute fraud wherever we can find it. But we will also look for new ways to prevent fraud before it happens. Health care is too important to let a single dollar go to waste."

In a statement, Pfizer general counsel Amy W. Schulman said the agreement ends all "material pending matters" with the Justice Department. "This gives us a very important opportunity to put final closure on the universe of material open items involving our U.S.-based operations," she said, Bloomberg News reported.
