Ex-MiMedx Employee Jake Heikkinen Files Counterclaims Alleging Schemes 'To Bilk Medicare' and 'Incentivize and Pressure Healthcare Providers' per Mintz Attorneys

MARIETTA, Ga., Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The third of 10 defendants who were sued earlier this year by MiMedx Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDXG) today filed counterclaims against the company. Jake Heikkinen, a former MiMedx employee, states in the filing that he left the placental biologics company because of "MiMedx's schemes to bilk Medicare and other government and third-party taxpayers" and "'to incentivize and pressure healthcare providers to treat wounded veterans, diabetics, chronic wound sufferers and other patients with medically unnecessary or unsuitable products—all to the detriment of patients and the federal government." Heikkinen also formally presented his answers and defenses to MiMedx's lawsuit which claimed that the 10 former employees, who all recently left the company, allegedly breached their contractual obligations to MiMedx. The filing describes the MiMedx suit as a "blatant intimidation tactic."
