Leading drug manufacturer Johnson & Johnson is being sued for mismanagement of the company’s pharmacy plan. The lawsuit, which also names J&J’s pharmacy benefits manager (PBM) as a defendant, accuses the company of massively overpaying the PBM for generic prescription drugs. (J&J denies the allegations.)
“The lawsuit used as an example the generic drug teriflunomide, which is used to treat multiple sclerosis. While a 90-pill prescription could be filled at a variety of common drugstores for prices ranging from around $28 to about $77, the complaint alleged, J&J “‘agreed to make their ERISA plans and their beneficiaries pay $10,239.69 — not a typo — for each 90-pill teriflunomide prescription.’” [Emphasis added]
