Walgreens Boots Alliance has settled charges for $106.8 million related to fraudulently billing the U.S. government for prescriptions that were not dispensed between 2009 and 2020. The Department of Justice stated that Walgreens submitted false claims to Medicare and Medicaid, resulting in improper payments. Although Walgreens did not admit liability, it attributed the issue to a software error and has since taken steps to prevent future billing errors. The settlement also includes payments to whistleblowers who brought the issues to light.
