Settlement Opportunities
HEALTHCARE SETTLEMENTS
Generic Pharmaceutical Pricing Antitrust Litigation
The lawsuit claims that generic drug manufacturers violated antitrust laws, harming competition and causing settlement class members to overpay for over 150 Named Generic Drugs between May 1, 2009 through December 31, 2019.
The defendant list includes 58 of the country’s major generic drug manufacturers; the settling defendants deny liability as alleged in the lawsuit and the court has not decided who is right or wrong.
Currently, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries and Taro Pharmaceuticals USA have settled for a combined total of $85 million but it is Class Action Capital’s opinion that this could be among the largest settlements in US history.
There are three potential classes your organization may qualify for depending on how your organization purchases these products and for what purpose: Direct, Indirect, and End Payor.
SureScripts Antitrust Litigation
The case involves the market that digitally transmits prescriptions from the prescribing physician to the pharmacy. The market involves (1) routing prescriptions to pharmacies, and (2) the eligibility market that allows providers to check a patient’s insurance eligibility.
The prescribing physicians contract with electronic health records (EHR) vendors to convey prescription information to pharmacies’ computer databases across an e-prescribing network. In a separate but related transaction, the patient’s formulary and pharmaceutical benefit information goes from the patient’s healthcare plan (usually the patient’s health insurer or pharmacy benefit manager) to the prescriber physician’s EHR system.
SureScripts is the go-between for pharmacies and the providers who send them prescriptions, and it also serves as the go-between providers and pharmacy benefit managers who check the patient’s eligibility.
