Kentucky will receive more than $10 million as a part of a multistate settlement against a global pharmaceutical distributor for allegedly improperly marketing and distributing opioid addiction recovery medication. A $300 million dollar multistate settlement against Indivior said they sold the meditation resulting in a misuse of state Medicaid funds.
A release from Attorney General Daniel Cameron’s office Friday said this cumulative $300 million multistate settlement is between the 50 state Medicaid Fraud Units, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. This settlement resolves allegations that Indivior falsely marketed the drug Suboxone to reduce withdrawal symptoms for opioid addiction and those undergoing recovery treatment.
