On September 18, 2018, Bloomberg reported California's insurance regulator is suing AbbVie, alleging that the Company gave illegal kickbacks to health-care providers in order to keep patients on its blockbuster rheumatoid arthritis drug Humira.
The California Department of Insurance accuses Abbvie of engaging "in a far-reaching scheme including both classic kickbacks – cash, meals, drinks, gifts, trips, and patient referrals – and more sophisticated ones – free and valuable professional goods and services to physicians to induce and reward Humira prescriptions."
This news drove the price of AbbVie shares down $2.76 to close at $92.61 on September 18, 2018.
"We're focused on whether AbbVie recorded illegally obtained revenues and investors' losses," said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.

Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.
