In 2025, Walgreens agreed to settle a $100 million class-action lawsuit that accused the company of overcharging insured customers for generic prescription drugs. According to the suit, Walgreens’ Prescription Savings Club (PSC) sold medications to customers who used the card at significantly reduced prices while using the customer’s insurance information to bill payors an inflated price for the same drugs, contributing to insurance obligations and out-of-pocket expenses.
To get paid, class members who qualify must file a valid claim form by April 17, 2025, or by June 16, 2025, if the individuals requested to send purchase information by April 12, 2025.
Walgreens Class Action Settlement 2025
The Walgreens class lawsuit settlement resolves allegations that the drugstore chain systematically overcharged its insured customers for generic drugs because it failed to discount insurance claims for its Prescription Savings Club (PSC) members. It contended that this practice resulted in insured patients paying higher amounts out of pocket and boosted payments from insurance.
Individuals and third-party payors who paid for prescriptions with insurance during this time are entitled to file a claim. Individuals will receive 20% of the net settlement, and third-party payors 80%, less legal and administrative costs. Claim forms must be filed on or before April 17, 2025/June 16, 2025, if purchase information was requested by April 12, 2025.

Walgreens Settlement Payment Schedule
In the Walgreens settlement, there would be a tiered schedule of payments to eligible claimants. After payment of legal fees (including award of attorney’s fees and expenses) and administration costs, the net settlement fund will be distributed, with 20% distributed to direct purchasers and 80% distributed to indirect payors. Individual claimants who have already received a settlement notice and who are claiming less than $10,000 are not required to submit any additional documentation. Purchasers who have documentation of claims over $10,000 or did not receive a notice must provide proof of purchases.
A hearing to finally approve is set for September 10, 2025. Assuming the hills settle and there are no appeals, payments will then go out soon after. But if appeals are filed, the payout could be suspended at least until all legal battles are over. Savers are encouraged to check savingsclubsettlement.com for updates on when and how those payments will be processed.
Recent update on the Action Settlement
The Walgreens class-action settlement claim filing deadline has been pushed back for some class members. Customers asking to receive information concerning their purchase of prescriptions from Walgreens who made their requests by April 12, 2025, have now until June 16, 2025, to file a claim. All other class members shall remain as per the original April 17, 2025, deadline.
Assuming approval, and no appeals, the settlement money will then be distributed to those who can prove they took certain drugs and were injured. Claimants are urged to keep informed by checking out the official website for updates and to get their claims in on time.
Key Points to consider
To join the Walgreens class-action settlement, claimants need to be aware of a few details. To begin, verify eligibility by checking if prescriptions were purchased at Walgreens with insurance from January 1, 2007, through November 18, 2024. The claim must be submitted by April 17, 2025, unless at the time of service of the complaint, purchase information is requested, in which case it has to be submitted by June 16, 2025, or if you did not request purchase information from Puget before April 12, 2025.
For amounts under $10,000, and if served with a notice of settlement, no additional documents are required. Claims that exceed $10,000 or are not accompanied by a notice must provide proof of purchase. The last final approval hearing is on September 10, 2025, and payments will be made soon after, pending any appeals. By acting now and having the accurate information, this compensation will be in the hands of eligible claimants.
