A Texas-based drug company will pay nearly $1 million to Massachusetts as part of a nationwide settlement over allegations that it illegally billed for an ineffective drug, prosecutors said.
Healthpoint Ltd. and its partner DFB Pharmaceuticals, Inc. will pay a total of $48 million to 47 states to compensate state health care and Medicaid programs that purchased Xenaderm, a drug the company marketed to treat wounds like pressure ulcers, Attorney General Martha Coakley’s office said in a statement.
