The 2 New Hot Words in Healthcare: Algorithms and Whistleblowers

Siemens Medical Solutions USA Inc., whose Malvern, Pa., complex was searched by Defense Department agents Wednesday, is a defendant in a whistle-blower lawsuit.

The unit of German conglomerate Siemens AG (NYSE:SI) is accused in the suit of giving corporate customers of its medical imaging equipment bigger discounts than it gave the federal government while assuring the government that it was getting the best discounts Siemens offered.

The filer, William A. Thomas, was an executive with Siemens and also worked for a company that bought equipment from it and a company it acquired.
