A California woman is suing CVS, the largest
pharmacy chain in America, for allegedly charging more to customers who
use insurance to pay for certain generic prescriptions.
The lawsuit, filed on Monday, accuses CVS
Health Corporation of participating in a "fraudulent scheme" and claims
the plaintiff, Megan Schultz, paid $165.68 for a prescription in July
that, had she bought without using insurance, would have only cost $92.
"CVS never told her that paying in cash would
allow her to pay 45% less for the drug; instead, CVS remained silent and
took her money — knowing full well that no reasonable consumer would
make such a choice," the complaint says.
