Law firm drops suit alleging CVS gouged generic consumers, plans to refile

Fierce Pharma ------- After making a series of allegations that pharmacy giant CVS was gouging generic drug consumers who paid with insurance, the plaintiff in a proposed class action lawsuit dropped her claims. In the suit, plaintiff Megan Schulz alleged she paid more through insurance to get a generic drug than if she’d just paid cash. The suit also alleged pharmacy “copays” were really payments to pharmacy benefit managers, set up by confidential deals. CVS refuted the allegations and said in a statement Friday that it’s pleased the suit has been dismissed. To learn more click on the picture below to read the article.
