Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued Eli Lilly, alleging the drugmaker offered illegal incentives to providers, leading to millions in improper Medicaid claims.

Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit this week against Eli Lilly for allegedly bribing Texas health care providers to prescribe its most profitable drugs.

Paxton's office said the company supplied free nurses to help care for patients who received its drugs, as well as administrative support services that helped providers process insurance claims.
