Connecticut's Attorney General is investigating CVS' threat to drop a drug discount program because state law requires the lowest drug prices be for the state's Medicaid program.
[Attorney General Richard] Blumenthal, in cooperation with Department of Consumer Protection commissioner Jerry Farrell, Jr., has sent CVS Caremark a subpoena to explain why providing the discounts to the state Medicaid program would result in termination of its Health Savings Pass program in Connecticut and other information. The deadline for compliance is July 9.
In response to the matter, CVS Caremark said that it intends to "fully comply with all applicable legal requirements in this matter" and "will fully cooperate with the Attorney General's investigation."
