NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into Progenity, Inc. (NasdaqGM: PROG).

In August 2020, the Company disclosed that an audit uncovered it had overbilled the U.S. government by $10.3 million more than previously disclosed due to the incorrect use of a billing code, the same “discontinued legacy billing practices” that the Company had previously represented had been “remediated.”
