WASHINGTON — McKinsey & Company consulting firm has agreed to pay $650 million to settle a federal investigation into its work for opioids manufacturer Purdue Pharma, according to court papers filed in Virginia on Friday.
A former McKinsey senior partner has also agreed to plead guilty to obstruction of justice for deleting documents from his laptop after he became aware of investigations into Purdue Pharma, according to the filings.Court filings say Purdue paid McKinsey more than $93 million over 15 years for a number of products, including how to improve revenue from OxyContin.
The company also tried to help Purdue get a say in shaping federal rules intended to ensure the benefits of addictive prescription drugs outweighed the risks. The government said in its new filings that that resulted in making high-dose OxyContin subject to the same oversight as lower-dose opioids and made training for prescribers voluntary rather than mandatory.
The consulting firm also agreed last year to pay health care funds and insurance companies $78 million.
