Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 8, 2014, Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of North Carolina stating that it is investigating the Company to determine whether the Company has violated the False Claims Act, resulting in the submission of false claims to federal and state health care programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. The letter enclosed a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) for written interrogatories and document requests.
The Company maintains rigorous policies and procedures to promote compliance with the False Claims Act and other regulatory requirements, and is working with the U.S. Attorney’s Office to promptly respond to the CID.
