LA AG Sues ESI, Ascent Health

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill announced she has filed a lawsuit against Express Scripts, Inc. and its affiliate Ascent Health Services, LLC, for manipulating the prescription drug marketplace. The complaint argues ESI entered into an unlawful agreement with its competitor Prime Therapeutics to coordinate pharmacy reimbursement rates and fees while increasing their collective leverage over drug manufacturers. Louisiana alleges that this agreement allowed ESI and Prime to use their market power to restrict competition, manipulate pharmacy reimbursement, conceal profits, and steer patients toward pharmacies they own or control. These practices, the state says, have resulted in significant harm to independent pharmacies, increased costs for patients, and reduced patient choice.
