Pharmaceutical Benefit Plan Settlements

$217 Million available via Pharmaceutical Benefit Plan Class Action Settlements

Overview

There are currently a number of active antitrust settlements and lawsuits that fall into the category of “pharmaceutical benefit plan settlements.” Under these settlements, it is generally alleged that businesses with self-insured health plans overpaid for drugs purchased on behalf of their employees due to artificially inflated and/or stabilized prices. The prices were allegedly manipulated as a result of anti-competitive practices undertaken by the drug manufacturers.
