On April 21, 2010, following a settlement between the parties, United States District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein dismissed Joseph Kim’s whistleblower retaliation case against his former employer, Medco Enterprises, Inc. The Complaint, filed by qui tam whistleblower attorney Timothy J. McInnis, has been pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Docket No. 07-CV-1305 (AKH).
Kim, a respiratory therapist, alleged that he was fired by Medco because he had investigated and complained of Medicare fraud committed by his former employer in connection with services for respiratory patients at Medco’s Wayne Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation in Bronx, New York. Kim’s allegations were set forth in a First Amended Complaint against Medco that was filed in August 2008. The terms of the settlement between Kim and Medco were not publicly disclosed in the action at the time of its dismissal.
