Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost filed a lawsuit this week against health insurer Centene, alleging that company subsidiary Buckeye Health Plan utilized a web of subcontractors for the provision of pharmacy benefits in order to misrepresent pharmacy costs, resulting in millions of dollars of overpayments by the Ohio Department of Medicaid.
Yost said in a statement on Thursday that Centene materially breached its obligations to the state Medicaid program and to the state as a whole, calling it a conspiracy and a complex scheme to obtain Medicaid payments through deceptive means.
