Walgreens has agreed to pay $106 million to settle allegations that it submitted false payment claims for prescriptions under government health care programs. The lawsuits, filed by former employees in New Mexico, Texas, and Florida, accused the pharmacy chain of billing Medicare and Medicaid for prescriptions that were never picked up between 2009 and 2020. Although Walgreens stated that the overbilling was due to a software error and that it has since improved its management systems, the settlement does not involve an admission of legal liability.
