Florida doctor admits taking kickbacks from Insys, others

Florida doctor admits taking kickbacks from Insys, others

Dr. Michael Frey, 46, pleaded guilty on Monday in federal court in Fort Myers, Florida, to conspiring to receive kickbacks from a medical equipment provider and a pharmacy sales representative. As part of a plea agreement, he also admitted that Chandler, Arizona-based Insys paid him kickbacks in the form of fees to participate in largely bogus speaker event programs so that he would prescribe its opioid product Subsys, prosecutors said.
