Kroger customers who used insurance to pay for prescriptions could be eligible for a share of a proposed $17 million class-action settlement over allegations that the grocery chain charged some customers more than they should have for generic drugs.
The lawsuit alleges Kroger did not account for lower prices offered through its Kroger Savings Club when calculating the “usual and customary” prices reported to insurers. Plaintiffs claim this resulted in some insured customers paying higher out-of-pocket costs.
