Contingencies | 16. Contingencies In December 2018, we received a civil investigative demand from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) for documents and information relating to our speaker programs and patient assistance programs, including our support of non-profit organizations that provide financial assistance to eligible patients. We have cooperated with this inquiry. In November 2019, the qui tam complaint underlying the DOJ inquiry was unsealed (“Complaint”), at which time we learned that a former employee whom we had terminated had made certain allegations relating to the programs described above. We then became aware that the DOJ had not intervened in the qui tam action, and, to our knowledge, the DOJ has not intervened to date. We filed an answer to the Complaint on January 22, 2020, and the action is proceeding. We cannot predict the outcome or the timing of the ultimate resolution of the investigation or qui tam action, or reasonably estimate the possible range of loss, if any, that may result from these matters. Accordingly, no reserve has been made with respect to these matters as of June 30, 2020. In the ordinary course of our business, we may become involved in lawsuits, proceedings, and other disputes, including commercial, intellectual property, regulatory, employment, and other matters. We record a reserve for these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
