BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Judge finds Humana lacks standing to sue Biogen over MS drug payments

April 13, 2023 Reprints

A federal judge in Massachusetts recently dismissed a case brought by Humana Inc. accusing drug manufacturer Biogen Inc. of making unlawful donations to different charities to help fund patient copays of its multiple sclerosis drugs as a means of increasing its number of prescriptions and sales, BenefitsPro reports. In September 2021, Humana filed a complaint that claimed Biogen developed a scheme to lure Medicare and its insurers to overpay for Tysabri, Avonex, and Tecfidera, which cost about $50,000 to $80,000 per year.
