A New York State judge has dismissed the state’s antitrust lawsuit alleging that CVS Health illegally makes 340B covered entities use its 340B third party administrator Wellpartner in order to contract with CVS retail and specialty pharmacies to dispense 340B-purchased drugs.
Judge Robert Reed issued his opinion on Tuesday. He said CVS broke no state antitrust laws because covered entities “typically work with multiple contract pharmacies” and the state “does not allege that CVS has done anything to prevent switching to competing pharmacies or to make switching costly.”
