The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday revived two whistleblower lawsuits that allege Safeway and SuperValu overcharged the government for prescription drugs to the tune of $200 million.
The cases involved allegations that major retail pharmacies across the country knowingly overcharged Medicaid and Medicare by overstating what their "usual and customary prices" are. If they did, the pharmacies could be liable for triple damages.
