Alere OIG & FBI Audit

No big surprise here.. The OIG & FBI have been in the Alere office’s in Clearwater since Feb/March 2015 performing audits. MCR sent a refund request letter asking for 32 million back. Alere is just cocky and stupid enough to stroke a check to MCR and continue on with business as usual. I’ve been in the lab industry for 20 plus years (every aspect of lab). I worked at Avee/Alere for 1.5 years; on the lab floor as well as the business office. I’ve never seen such a profound mess. Every aspect of the place is a joke. Nothing works!!! Interface – testing - specimen handling – billing – procedures – ALL software is an absolute JOKE !!! Xifin, StarLims & Apollo are ALL cheap & not worth 1 penny. Xifin is the worst software I’ve seen in 20 years!!! I wouldn’t send my dogs piss to that wreck of a so called lab. I can’t wait till the axe drops!!! They lose 3-5 employees a month.. Tells ya how happy of a place it is to work at!! If anyone gets a bill from Alere.. Fight it!!! Contact your insurance company and tell them the charges are fraud. Alere already settled a 30 million dollar lawsuit with Horzion BCBS of NJ. They did so b/c they know what they are doing is illegal !!!! I can’t wait to see what happens next!!!
