AmeriPath Unit Gets Subpoena Over Billing

AmeriPath Inc., which provides diagnostic services to physicians and hospitals, said its lab testing unit had received a subpoena from California seeking information about Medicaid billing.

Specialty Laboratories, a Valencia company AmeriPath acquired this year, was subpoenaed for documents “relating to billings to the California Medicaid program” for time frames ranging from three to 10 years, Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.-based AmeriPath said.
