EpiPen on counter

Pfizer Inc., Meridian Medical Technologies Inc., and King Pharmaceuticals LLC (collectively known as the “Pfizer defendants”) have agreed to a $345 million settlement in a class-action antitrust lawsuit that claimed they plotted to maintain EpiPen’s monopoly while raising the price of EpiPens from $100 to $600 in less than 10 years.

If you purchased a brand-name or generic EpiPen between August 24, 2011, and November 1, 2020, you may be eligible to file a claim in this lawsuit. A fairness hearing will be held on October 27 to determine whether the proposed settlement is “fair, reasonable, and adequate,” but if you’re one of the 7 million+ consumers eligible to file a claim, you may do so now.

The amount of money individual consumers can receive will be decided closer to the final hearing in October. No documentation is required to file a claim, but you may be asked for additional proof of eligibility, including the following:

Itemized receipts, canceled checks, or credit card statements
An EOB (explanation of benefits) from your insurer
Pharmacy records
Copies of your EpiPen prescriptions

The deadline to file a claim is November 12, 2021. Claims can be filed online or by submitting this form by mail.

I remember the first time I bought my daughter a EpiPen I almost passed out when our pharmacist gave me the total-$675. Even the pharmacist was upset about the cost of it. It’s sad that our country places profit over lives and allows onlinepanies like the makers of EpiPens to price gouge which can potentially put lives at risk because they can’t afford to fill prescriptions like this one. 😔

Also, if you do not have insurance that covers an EpiPen and contact your doctor and ask them about AUVI-Q. It is just a different type of EpiPen, but at a very low cost. It used to be free, but I believe they charge about $25 now… that’s it! So it takes a little longer to get to you then just running to the pharmacist.

Yes! With 6 out of 7 with food allergies, we’ve been using AUVI-Q promos for the past few years…through Walgreens, they have a promo right now that is literally saving us several hundred dollars.

So if I had insurance and it went through insurance and I just paid a co-pay then I can still file for this claim?

It states, “Insured consumers who purchased Branded or generic EpiPens only via a fixed dollar co-payment that is the same for all covered devices, whether Branded or generic, regardless of the price of the device (e.g., $20 for all Branded and generic devices)” are excluded.

You’re so welonlinee! I totally understand. 💕 We have a lot of food allergies in my family from peanuts to shellfish.

I wonder what is causing so many allergies? The immune system attacking itself! I think we all know, but are not allowed to say!
Peanut allergies were unknown when I grew up in the 60s.
Ripping off people seems to be the only business model now.
