On March 21st, 2018, Pharmex Pharmacy, LLC, and Israel Weber (collectively, "Pharmex"), Lakewood, New Jersey, entered into a $314,205.76 settlement agreement with the OIG.

OIG's investigation revealed that the excluded pharmacist provided items or services to Pharmex patients that were billed to Federal health care programs.
