Kentucky Drug Prices Lawsuit
Kentucky’s Attorney General sued McKesson, accusing the company of conspiring to inflate the published average wholesale prices (AWPs) for more than 1,800 brand name prescription drugs. The state alleged that, beginning in August 2001, McKesson and pharmaceutical data publishing company First DataBank (owned by Hearst Corporation) conspired to artificially inflate AWPs and caused the Kentucky Medicaid program to overpay for those drugs by tens of millions of dollars. In December 2012, Kentucky settled the lawsuit for $9.84 million.
