Hey Classy People,
You know that moment when you pick up a prescription and even with insurance it still costs... too much? Turns out, you weren’t just being dramatic. Walgreens has agreed to pay $100 million to settle claims that they overcharged insured customers for years – by not applying their own discount prices to insurance claims. If you filled a prescription at Walgreens using insurance anytime between 2007 and 2024, this one’s worth a closer look. Let’s dig in👇.

SETTLEMENT SPOTLIGHT
💊 Walgreens Savings Club $100M Pill to Swallow
💰️ What Happened?
Plaintiffs say Walgreens ($WBA ( ▲ 0.26% ) ) inflated what it called its “usual and customary” (U&C) prices by not factoring in its Prescription Savings Club (PSC) – a discount program with lower rates for many generic drugs.
Why does that matter? Because insurance companies and customers paid based on those U&C prices. If the PSC price was lower, Walgreens still charged – and reported – the higher one. Over time, that meant you and your insurer could’ve paid more than you should have.
Walgreens, of course, denies any wrongdoing, but they’re still dishing out $100 million to settle the case.
👀 Who's Eligible?
If you used insurance to fill a prescription at Walgreens anytime between January 1, 2007 and November 18, 2024, you might be eligible.
