Kroger Will Pay $17 Million Over Prescription Pricing, and Insured Customers Have Until December to Claim

Anyone who filled a prescription at a Kroger pharmacy using insurance in the past seven and a half years may be entitled to money from a $17 million class action settlement, and the window to file closes on December 21, 2026.

The case is Kirkbride et al. v. The Kroger Co., No. 2:21-cv-00022, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. Plaintiffs allege that Kroger inflated the usual and customary prices it reported to insurers by omitting lower prices available through its Savings Club program, and that insured customers paid more as a result. Kroger denies wrongdoing and says it correctly reported its retail prices. The court has not decided who is right, and the settlement carries no finding of liability.
