Background: In November 2019, AHF filed a lawsuit with the American Arbitration Association against Caremark LLC, a pharmacy benefit manager (PBM), for breach of agreement and undertaking of good faith and fair use. The dispute arose out of Caremark’s unfair practice of charging back prescriptions filled by AHF pharmacies on behalf of prescription insurance plan sponsors, such as those covering Medicare Plan D beneficiaries.

In November 2021, the arbitrator ruled in favor of AHF and ordered Caremark to reimburse AHF for nearly $23 million in damages and arbitration costs. Subsequently, in November 2021, Caremark filed a court motion to vacate or correct the arbitration award, but on September 15, 2022, the United States District Court for the District of Arizona affirmed the arbitration award. ‘AHF.
