Amazon-owned PillPack is paying $5.79 million for fraudulently overbilling for insulin, according to a document filed this week with the DOJ.
Parker and Cohen had steered Amazon Pharmacy since PillPack was acquired in 2018.As part of the settlement, PillPack also admitted and accepted responsibility for regularly giving patients a full carton of insulin pens rather than the appropriate amount — a practice that clearly exceeded the limits imposed by Medicare and Medicaid — and then falsely under-reporting it to avoid penalties.
"PillPack would dispense and bill for the full carton, and falsely under report the days-of-supply to make it appear that the dispensing did not violate the program’s days-of-supply limit," according to the report.
