Multiple Oklahoma pharmacies have agreed to pay $157,000 to settle allegations that they billed the Oklahoma Medicaid Program, SoonerCare, for hundreds of unauthorized over-the-counter COVID-19 tests.
Apothecary Pharmacy, Cornwell Pharmacy, Cushing Family Pharmacy, R.T.’s Family Discount Pharmacy, Foster Corner Drug, Tiger Drug, Yale Drug, Jones Drug Store and Swipht Pharmacy agreed to the settlement after an investigation by Attorney General Gentner Drummond’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit.
“I appreciate the careful and extensive work by my investigative team to recover these funds,” Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond said. “I take seriously all allegations of false claims and am committed to holding anyone who abuses the system accountable to the law.”
The investigation was handled by Assistant Attorney General Jamie Bloyd and Agents Justin Brown and Daniel Shcolnik.
