StoneRiver Pharmacy Solutions Inc. has agreed to pay approximately $1 million in restitution, Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley announced this week.
To date, the AG’s Office has recovered more than $9 million in relief through similar investigations of pharmacy retail stores including Walmart and Target Corp., along with major pharmacy chains CVS, Rite-Aid and Walgreens.
The AG’s Office has also obtained recoveries from both Shaw’s Supermarkets and Stop & Shop regarding their workers’ comp municipal prescription businesses. The settlement with StoneRiver is the eighth of its kind.
