Insulin Overpricing Litigation

Large employers across the United States—including corporations, cities, counties, school boards, universities, and labor unions—are now stepping forward to pursue justice in a growing wave of litigation surrounding insulin overpricing.

Understanding the Insulin Overpricing Scheme

Insulin manufacturers, including Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, and Sanofi, in collaboration with Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) such as CVS Caremark, Express Scripts, and OptumRx, are accused of engaging in a complex pricing scheme. This scheme allegedly revolved around rebate agreements that incentivized PBMs to favor high-priced insulin products in exchange for substantial rebates.

As a result, insulin costs in the United States are approximately four times higher than they should be, placing a significant financial burden on large employers and public institutions. These inflated prices were passed on through healthcare plans, leading to multi-million dollar losses over time.

Who Is Eligible to File a Claim?

If your organization provides a self-funded healthcare plan, you may be entitled to compensation. Eligible entities include:

  • Large corporations and manufacturers
  • Public school boards and universities
  • Labor unions and employee benefit funds
  • Municipalities, counties, and state government entities
  • Hospitals and medical centers

This litigation is focused on large-scale economic harm caused by unjust pricing structures. If your organization paid for insulin on behalf of employees or members, you may qualify to recover a portion of those costs.

Call (803) 247-3388 to find out if your organization is eligible.

What Is the Status of the Litigation?

Lawsuits against insulin manufacturers and PBMs have been filed nationwide. These cases were consolidated into a multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the U.S. District Court of New Jersey at the end of 2023.

The lawsuits allege violations of:

  • RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act)
  • Deceptive trade practices
  • Unjust enrichment

The legal action seeks a combination of injunctive and monetary relief, aiming to stop ongoing pricing abuses and recover past overcharges.

Relief Sought by the MDL

Claimants in the insulin overpricing MDL are seeking:

  • Injunctive Relief – To stop PBMs and manufacturers from continuing their pricing scheme
  • Monetary Compensation – To reimburse self-funded plans for previous overpayments
  • Punitive Damages – To penalize the responsible parties and deter future misconduct
  • Disgorgement of Illicit Profits – Forcing companies to return unjust financial gains

Taking action now is critical to preserving your organization’s rights and maximizing potential compensation.
