COLUMBUS, Ohio (WKBN) – Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced on Thursday that Ohio will be joining other states in settling two whistleblower lawsuits against Walgreens Boots Alliance.
According to a press release, the agreements settle allegations that Walgreens knowingly engaged in overdispensing of insulin pens to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries and billed Medicaid for prescription drugs at higher than customary rates.
“Overbilling is cheating, plain and simple,” Yost said in the release. “I am proud of this office’s detailed work to establish accountability.”
