{Kentucky}...The state Office of Medicaid Fraud and Abuse Control filed a lawsuit July 15th in Franklin County Circuit Court alleging that McKesson Corp. and First DataBank Inc., which publishes a list that state Medicaid agencies use for reported prices used in reimbursement, conspired to inflate the published average wholesale prices for more than 1,800 brand name prescription drug products. Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway's office says the lawsuit alleges the state Medicaid program overpaid for drugs by tens of millions of dollars as a result of the alleged activity.
