Invalid Prescriptions Trigger CVS Omnicare Whistleblower Lawsuit
Manage episode 499614679 series 2288292
Although the lawsuit was filed by a pharmacist in New Mexico, a federal judge in New York has ordered CVS Omnicare to pay $949,000 to settle a False Claims Act (FCA) case.
According to news sources, the Pharmacy Benefits Manager (PBM) allegedly prescribed drugs to individuals in long-term residential facilities that were not supported by valid prescriptions and then submitted claims for reimbursement for those prescriptions to Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE. Although a jury trial was held last spring, with the judge rejecting post-trial arguments by Omnicare, it is understood that Omnicare plans to appeal.
Reporting details of this whistleblower lawsuit during the next edition of Monitor Mondays will be Max Voldman, a partner at Whistleblowers Law, LLP.
