Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has filed suit against Centene and several of its subsidiaries, alleging that they schemed to misrepresent pharmacy costs and gain overpayments from the state s Medicaid program.
According to the lawsuit, Centene subsidiary Buckeye Health Plan used sister companies Envolve Health Solutions and Health Net Pharmacy Solutions to administer its pharmacy benefit. Yost s office said it began to investigate their business practices as the arrangement raised questions.
In a statement, Yost s office said the investigation, which was conducted by outside counsel, found that the companies filed reimbursement requests for amounts that had already been paid by third parties, and failed to accurately represent costs to the Ohio Department of Medicaid.
A Dispatch story nearly 2 1/2 years ago about seemingly duplicate payments to pharmacy benefits managers bore fruit Thursday with a lawsuit from Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost.

The Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank is a partner in the Food Farmacy pilot program in Summit County.
Ohio is launching a new program this year, beginning in Summit County, that focuses on the link between chronic illness and poor nutrition and connects food-insecure patients with the medical and nutritional support they need beyond the doctor’s office.
It’s called the Food Farmacy Pilot Project with Farmacy spelled with an “F” to highlight the importance of good nutrition in combatting chronic disease. The program is a partnership between the Ohio Department of Medicaid, Akron-Canton Regional Food Bank and local hospital systems including Akron Children s Hospital, Summa Health and Cleveland Clinic.
