Walgreens Prescriptions $100M Class Action Settlement (2007-2024)

Walgreens Class Settlement

Settlement Website | File A Claim | FAQ pdf

A proposed Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit on behalf of individuals, health insurers, and other entities who paid for prescription drugs from Walgreens. The class action lawsuit, Russo, et al. v. Walgreen Co., No. 1:17-cv02246, relates to how Walgreens determined its usual and customary prices in submitting claims for prescription reimbursement, specifically whether it should have considered its Prescription Savings Club prices in determining its usual and customary prices. To resolve the claims, the proposed Settlement will provide for $100,000,000 ($100M) to be paid by Walgreens.

Who Is Eligible?

All individuals and entities in the United States who paid for prescription drugs from Walgreens and where prescription insurance benefits were used in filling the prescription in time period from the period January 1, 2007 through November 18, 2024.

How Much?

You’ll receive payment proportional to the amount you paid for prescriptions. Individual claimants will receive a proportional share of 20% of the net settlement fund and third-party payors (i.e. insurance companies, etc) can receive a proportional share of 80% of the net settlement fund.

Important Dates

  • January 1, 2007 through November 18, 2024 are the affected dates of the mis-pricing by Walgreens.
  • Must file a claim by April 17, 2025.
  • The Fairness Hearing is scheduled for September 10, 2025, at 12:15 P.M. CST

Our Verdict

Not clear how much this will pay out. Always worth tossing in a claim if eligible since every once in a while there’s a class settlement payment that ends up being substantial.

Looking forward to getting a $5 payout in 5 years. In the meantime, I will continue getting Walgreens to print me free low-quality photos of my dog every month.

If you do not plan to send in support receipts and docs for the claim, best to select a claim for < $10,000. Good luck!!!

If you received notice and a Notice Identification Number from the Settlement Administrator, you do not need to provide any documentation at this time if the estimated total amount of your unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenditures for one or more prescription drugs purchased from Walgreens from January 1, 2007 through November 18, 2024, where prescription benefits were used in filling the prescription(s), is less than $10,000. However, the Settlement Administrator may ask for additional proof supporting your claim.

Got an email for this with a notice ID and unique ID despite never filling any prescriptions at Walgreens. Never had any family members fill there either, nor used any pharmacies that they would have acquired. Kinda concerned.

from the FAQ document

https://savingsclubsettlement.com/media/r2apb01a/notice-of-class-action-settlement.pdf

> For Known and Unknown Individual Claimants, the Claim Form asks you to estimate whether, during the Settlement Class Period, you paid $1-$500, $501-$1,000, $1,001-$5,000, $5,001-$9,999, or $10,000 or more for eligible prescription drugs from Walgreens. All Unknown Individual Claimants who have a claim in any amount and all Known Individual Claimants who claim to have paid $10,000 or more in eligible prescription drug purchases will be required to submit supporting documentation or data sufficient to identify that Individual Claimant’s payments to Walgreens for eligible prescription drug purchases

> The precise amount that you might receive from the Net Settlement Fund will depend on how much you (and other members of the Settlement Class) paid

Can you use prescription records for payment receipts? I tried calling them option 2 nobody is every there. Can we fax the records if they allow them. The last settlement allowed me to fax them from my HP printer. A lot cheaper then mailing them.

He’s asking a question that you could choose to answer or not but instead you chose to shame him. Do you act this way in person or is this your outlet to bully people?

How do you explain to a boomer that it’s 2025 and no one uses fax machines anymore?

The claims process is entirely online for a reason, and this is guy is still trying to physically mail his receipts in an envelope lol

If someone doesn’t know how to explain it, don’t answer. Pretty simple.
