The California Board of Pharmacy fined OptumRx, one of the largest pharmacy benefit managers in the U.S., $100,000 for a series of prescribing failures at one of its pharmacies that allegedly jeopardized patient health. The infractions, which occurred between 2016 and 2020, involved failures to refill prescriptions promptly, substituting a medicine without written consent, telling a patient his health insurer denied a refill due to cost, and dispensing a generic version of a dr-g with a costly co-pay when the customer had no co-pay for the brand version, according to a complaint the agency filed last year.
