The name of the lawsuit is In re: <i>Pharmaceutical Average Wholesale Price Litigation,</i> Docket No. 01-CV-12257-PBS, MDL No. 1456. </p> <p class="ptext"> The lawsuit claims that certain drug companies reported false and inflated average wholesale prices ( AWP ) for certain types of outpatient drugs. The Average Wholesale Price ( AWP ) is used to set reimbursement amounts that are paid by a) Medicare and its beneficiaries, b) private healthy insurers, and c) consumers making full cash or percentage co-payments under private health insurance plans. The lawsuit claims that Defendants reported false and inflated AWPs for the drugs at issue, which in turn raised the price consumers, Medicare, and insurers paid for the drugs. </p> <p class="ptext"> Defendants deny the claims in the lawsuit but have agreed to pay $125 million to settle these and other related claims. This Proposed Settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing or an indication that any law was violated. The costs of administering the Proposed Settlement as well as attorneys' fees will be deducted from the Settlement Fund before distributions to Class Members. </p> <p class="ptext"> The remaining fund will be distributed to consumers and Third-Party Payors who submit a valid claim. </p> <br /> <table width="90%" border="0" bgcolor="white" align="center"> <tr> <td valign="top" style="width: 370px; background-color: White;"> <table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" style="height: 324px;"> <tr> <td style="height: 18; background-color: #105173;" align="center" class="pTitle4"> &nbsp;PRIVATE INSURANCE </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" style="background-color: #eeeeee; height: 323px;"> <br /> <p class="pTitle3" align="center"> If You Made a full cash or a Percentage Co-Payments Through Private Health Insurance for any of <a href="pdfs/Class_A_ and_Class_B_Drug_List.pdf" target="_blank">These Drugs</a> Between<br /> 1/1/91 and 3/1/08, <br /> <br /> <a href="consumerclass3.htm" class="link1"><b>Click Here</b></a> </p> </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td style="width: 40;"> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</td> <td valign="top" style="width: 370px; background-color: White"> <table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" style="height: 300;"> <tr height="18"> <td style="height: 18; width: 300px; background-color: #105173" class="pTitle4" align="center"> &nbsp;MEDICARE PART B </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" bgcolor="#eeeeee" style="height: 323px"> <br> <p class="pTitle3" align="center"> If You Made Percentage Co-Payments Through Medicare Part B for any <p align="center" class="pTitle3"> of <a href="pdfs/Class_A_ and_Class_B_Drug_List.pdf" target="_blank">These Drugs</a> Between<br /> 1/1/91 and 1/1/05, <br /> </p> <p align="center"> &nbsp;</p> <p align="center"> <a href="consumerclass1.htm" class="link1"><b>Click Here</b></a> </p> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td style="width: 40;"> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</td> <td valign="top" style="width: 370px; background-color: White"> <table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" style="height: 300;"> <tr height="18"> <td style="height: 18; width: 300px; background-color: #105173" class="pTitle4" align="center"> &nbsp;THIRD-PARTY PAYORS </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" bgcolor="#eeeeee" style="height: 322px"> <br> <p class="pTitle3" align="center"> If You Reimbursed for <p align="center" class="pTitle3"> any of <a href="pdfs/Class_A_ and_Class_B_Drug_List.pdf" target="_blank">These Drugs</a> </p> <p align="center" class="pTitle3"> Between<br /> 1/1/91 and 3/1/08, <br /> <br /> </p> <p align="center" class="pTitle3"> <br> <a href="payor.htm" class="link1"><b>Click Here</b></a> </p> <!-- <ul> <li class="ptext"> Anzemet (injection & tablets) </li> <li class="ptext">Aranesp</li> <li class="ptext">Epogen</li> <li class="ptext">Ferrlecit</li> <li class="ptext">InFed</li> <li class="ptext">Neulasta</li> <li class="ptext">Neupogen </li> </ul>--> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <!--<div style="text-align: center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="TABLE1" > <tr bgcolor="Gainsboro"> <td > If You Are a Consumer and Made, <br />or Are Obligated to Make, <br />a Percentage Co-Payment for the Track 2 Drugs included in the <br /><a href="pdfs/Class_A_ and_Class_B_Drug_List.pdf" target ="_blank" >Class A and Class B Drugs List</a>.<br /> <br /> <a href="ConsumerChoice.htm" class = "link1"><b>Please Click Here</b></a> </td> <td > <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="TABLE2" > If You Are a Third-Party Payor and Made <br />Reimbursements for the Following Drugs:&nbsp;<br /><br /> Class A Drugs:<br /> Anzemet (injection & tablets) <br /> Aranesp<br /> Epogen<br /> Ferrlecit<br /> InFed<br /> Neulasta<br /> Neupogen <br /> <br /> <a href="payor.htm" class = "link1"><b>Please Click Here</b></a> <br /> </table> </td> </tr> </table>--> <!--<br /> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="TABLE2" > <tr bgcolor=Gainsboro> <td class="title1" style ="width:550px"> If You Are a Third-Party Payor and Made <br />Reimbursements for the Following Drugs:&nbsp;<br /><br /> Class A Drugs: </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="Gainsboro"> <td style="height: 153px"> <p class="ptext1"> Anzemet (injection & tablets) <br /> Aranesp<br /> Epogen<br /> Ferrlecit<br /> InFed<br /> Neulasta<br /> Neupogen <br /> </p> <br /> <a href="payor.htm" class = "link1"><b>Please Click Here</b></a> <br /> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#105173" style="width: 980px"> <img src="../images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="1" alt="space"></img></td> </tr> </table> --> <br /> <br /> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
