A group of insured pharmacy customers in six states filed suit against CVS Pharmacy in 2015, claiming that the company overcharged them and their insurers for generic drugs while charging low, flat-fee prices through a discount program for cash-pay customers.

"We are pleased that the jury recognized that CVS Pharmacy did not overcharge consumers and that we provided the correct usual and customary prices for insurance claims," CVS said in a statement to Fierce Healthcare. "Our pharmacists will continue working with patients to help them save money at the pharmacy counter while helping them on their path to be...

A 16-year-old came in to get STD testing, and she said, "I don't want anyone sticking any needles in me. Hospitals give you covid that way."

I stayed in that room for way too long for someone who came in to be checked for STDs, but she didn't really understand. She was very scared. Nwakanma
