CVS Health subsidiary Omnicare has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection two months after the long-term care business was ordered to pay $949 million when a federal court found it liable for filing fraudulent claims for some prescription drugs. In 2019 the federal government joined the legal fight against CVS Health that accused Omnicare business of routinely filling prescriptions that had expired or run out of refills. CVS Health said at the time that the claims had no merit. “The District Court nevertheless imposed an extreme and, we believe, unconstitutional penalty,” Azzolina said. Omnicare, which filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, said that it will still provide pharmacy services to long-term care facilities during the court-supervised process.
