Ten former employees of MiMedx Group (NASDAQ: MDXG) have filed counterclaims against the company in response to a non-compete lawsuit. The counterclaims allege that MiMedx engaged in schemes to defraud Medicare and pressured healthcare providers to use medically unnecessary products on vulnerable patients.

Employees allege that MiMedx's lack of transparency about this issue led them to seek employment elsewhere. The legal action, filed by attorneys at Mintz and Fellows Labriola, portrays MiMedx's original lawsuit as an intimidation tactic against whistleblowers.

These accusations follow a warning letter from the FDA to MiMedx's CEO on December 20, 2023, regarding AXIOFILL.
