    Ohio Attorney General vs Express Scripts

    On July 13, 2020, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, filed a lawsuit against Express Scripts for multiple contract breaches that helped Express Scripts pocket millions of dollars in overcharges to the state. 

    The suit, filed on behalf of the Ohio Highway Patrol Retirement System, seeks to recover unspecified damages from Express Scripts, which had been the Pharmacy Benefits Manager for the HPRS' health plan since 2010.

    The lawsuit filed maintains that, in each year of Express Scripts' contract with HPRS except 2011-12, Express Scripts failed to satisfy the pricing guarantees in the then-applicable pricing schedule, thereby overcharging HPRS on thousands of claims. 

    This lawsuit is pending. 

    Pattern of Complaint:

    Better Business Bureau is advising consumers to use caution when considering doing business with Express Scripts.  BBB has received a pattern of consumer complaints alleging delays or failure to ship correct prescriptions or medications; failure to accept returns or medications which were shipped in error; failure to issue refunds; debiting credit or debit cards for prescriptions not shipped and poor customer service.

    California AG vs. Express Scripts

    On January 12, 2023, California Attorney General, Rob Bonta, for driving up the cost of the lifesaving drug through unlawful, unfair, and deceptive business practices in violation of California's Unfair Competition Law.

    Express Scripts along with other manufacturers produce 90% of the global insulin supply and the three PBMs administer pharmacy benefits for roughly 80% of prescription claims managed.  Insulin has become too expensive for patients whom are uninsured or underinsured causing severe consequences on the lives of the individuals affected.

    The lawsuit seeks to control the skyrocketing cost of insulin by promoting price competition for insulin and eliminating unlawful, unfair, and deceptive practices.  In addition, it seeks to recover restitution on behalf of California residents for past overpayments for the drug.

    This lawsuit is pending.

      Resolved
      My Express Scripts application portal reflects coverage effective & Prior authorization on file, yet Express Scripts issues a denial to my pharmacy every time they submit. This has been going on for over a month. I have called Express Scripts and every rep tells me they do not understand why it is being denied and to have my pharmacy resubmit- only to be denied again. They keep stating there is not a current pre authorization - however my doctor has submitted several (and my portal states Pre auth is good) They had me join a weight loss support group. I have spoken to supervisors and my pharmacist and doctor have called. Each rep I speak to tells me something different. Sections and dates on my portal have also been deleted (no longer visible to me) and dates changed) I have screen shots to support this.
