The Office of the Attorney General is distributing over $118,000 in settlement funds to more than 1300 Vermonters who were Medicaid beneficiary customers of McGregor’s Medicine-on-Time pharmacy in Winooski, Vermont, from 2004 through 2012. The average distribution is $85.
The distribution is the result of a settlement agreement between the State and McGregor’s that resolved allegations of Medicaid fraud. The State set aside a portion of the settlement funds to distribute to McGregor’s former Medicaid beneficiary customers who may have been improperly charged a monthly service fee or excessive copayments. The amount distributed to each beneficiary was determined based on the number of Medicaid pharmacy claims that McGregor’s submitted in the beneficiary’s name from 2004 through 2012.
Individuals receiving correspondence from the Office of the Attorney General should open the letter immediately as it may contain a check.
