Article Abstract:
Officials say that the practice of billing government insurance programs for the entire cost of an incompletely filled prescription is costing millions of taxpayer dollars annually. Federal investigations into prescription shortfilling led to settlements by two of the largest pharmacy chains, Eckard and Walgreen, each of which denied wrongdoing. The Justice Dept has decided to pursue more cases to prevent what it believes to be a widespread practice among drugstore chains.
