Medco asserted counterclaims against the named plaintiff pharmacies, alleging that the pharmacies fraudulently inflated the price of compounded prescriptions. The case was settled in March 2015. Settlement details have not been disclosed.
The case was described in a Law360 article, “Medco Settles Class Suit Over Pharmacy Payment Clawbacks,” published on March 11, 2015.
