ATLANTA (WXIA/CNN Newsource/WKRC) — If you received your prescriptions from a Kroger pharmacy within the last eight years, you may be eligible to receive payment from a proposed $17-million class-action settlement.
Per WSLS, the lawsuit alleges Kroger overcharged insured customers for certain generic prescriptions from December 2018 to August 2026 because it did not factor in lower prices offered by its Kroger Savings Club. This allegedly left some insured customers paying higher out-of-pocket costs.
While the grocery chain has agreed to the settlement, it does not admit wrongdoing and maintains it never overcharged customers. Kroger says discounted prices were only available to those who paid for a savings club membership, reports WXIA.
Eligible customers can file claims until Dec. 21 to receive a prorated payment. Other pharmacy customers could qualify, as well.
The settlement still needs final approval by a court.
