When the Right Enforcer Acts: The Federal Prosecution of U.S. Compounding and What It Means for Veterinary Teleradiology

Compliance, Antitrust, Fee Splitting /

“The federal government prosecuted a six-year veterinary kickback scheme involving a publicly traded pharmaceutical company, secured a corporate guilty plea, a jury conviction, two individual guilty pleas, and up to $21 million in criminal exposure — all in a context where the primary federal anti-kickback statute did not apply. The tools it used are available to every state attorney general in the country. The conduct those tools were used to address is structurally present in the veterinary teleradiology industry today.”

“He was the ACVR’s DICOM standards chair, the compliance watchdog, and the owner of the platform that profited when compliance failed — all at the same time. A decade after his committee went dormant, 94.9% of veterinary DICOM files still don’t conform. The evidence is public and the question is simple: champion or gatekeeper?”

The Stack: How IDEXX Built a Vertical Monopoly Over Veterinary Imaging — From the X-Ray Machine to the Radiologist’s Report

“IDEXX has spent fifteen years acquiring every layer of the veterinary imaging workflow — hardware, PACS, software, teleradiology, and the residency pipeline that trains new radiologists. The result is a referral architecture that routes toward IDEXX by design and away from everyone else by friction.”
