NY-AG v. Walgreens Boots Alliance

Walgreens Boots Alliance allegedly engaged in fraudulent conduct when it dispensed insulin pens. According to NY-AG, Walgreens did not always adhere to the dosage outlined by the prescribing doctor, but rather dispensed insulin pens in boxes containing five pens, regardless of the patient’s needs resulting in a pattern where Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries were routinely receiving more insulin than prescribed and Walgreens was then billing Medicaid for the additional doses.
