Before AbbVie Lawsuit, Payer Matrix’s CBO Defended Company’s Business Model
On May 5, AbbVie Inc. filed a lawsuit (1:23-cv-02836) against Payer Matrix, LLC in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division over its “fraudulent and deceptive scheme to enrich itself by exploiting AbbVie’s PAP [patient assistance program] through the enrollment of insured patients into a charitable program not intended for them.”
Payer Matrix was not able to provide a comment on the lawsuit by press time. But prior to the filing and shortly before AbbVie updated its PAP language earlier this year, AIS Health, a division of MMIT, conducted an interview with Michael Jordan, Payer Matrix’s chief business officer (CBO), to learn more about the company’s practices.
