Generic Pharmaceutical Antitrust Settlements

Approximately $533M in settlement funds.

If your organization purchased, paid for or reimbursed the cost of certain prescription generic drugs in the United States between May 1, 2009 and December 31, 2019, it may be eligible to submit a claim in settlements reached in the In re Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation.

Eligibility depends on several factors, including the drugs purchased, where the purchases were made, how the purchases were funded and whether your organization falls within one of the Settlement Class exclusions.

About the Litigation

The litigation consists of coordinated class actions pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania under the caption: In re Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation, Case No. 2:16-MD-2724-CMR.

End-Payer Plaintiffs allege that certain generic pharmaceutical manufacturers conspired to fix, maintain, stabilize or raise the prices of certain prescription generic drugs, allocate customers or markets, and engage in other conduct that violated federal and state antitrust and consumer-protection laws. The defendants have denied the allegations and denied liability. The Court has not decided the claims against the remaining Non-Settling Defendants. Several defendants have entered into settlements without admitting wrongdoing.

What the Lawsuit Alleges

The End-Payer Plaintiffs allege that certain pharmaceutical manufacturers coordinated pricing and other commercial activity in violation of federal and state antitrust laws.

According to the allegations, this conduct caused consumers and Third-Party Payers to pay more for certain generic prescription drugs than they would have paid in a competitive market.

These remain allegations.

The Settling Defendants deny liability, and settlements do not constitute an admission of wrongdoing.

Who May be Eligible

The Court has certified or approved Settlement Classes for settlement purposes.

You may be a Settlement Class Member if you are a consumer or Third-Party Payer that indirectly purchased, paid for or reimbursed some or all of the purchase price of one or more Named Generic Drugs:

In the United States, except Indiana and Ohio, or in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands;
Between May 1, 2009 and December 31, 2019;
For personal use by you or your members; and
Other than for resale.

Third-Party Payers may include certain self-funded health plans, employee benefit plans, health and welfare funds, insurers and other entities that reimbursed eligible prescription drug costs.

The Settlement Classes contain specific exclusions. These include certain governmental entities, defendants and their related parties, purchases made directly from defendants, purchases made for resale, fully insured employers to the extent they used fully insured plans, and pharmacy benefit managers.

The Named Generic Drugs and complete Settlement Class definitions are available through the official settlement website.

Eligibility is determined under the Court-approved settlement documents. Receiving notice of the settlements, or meeting the general description above, does not guarantee that a claimant is eligible or will receive payment.
