Metric and Spectrum, clinical laboratories based in Mississippi and Texas, and two of their owners have agreed to pay $5.7 million to settle allegations regarding a genetic testing fraud scheme, the Department of Justice announced Friday.

The defendants allegedly caused the submission of false claims to Medicare by paying kickbacks in return for genetic testing samples, according to the department.
