CVS withdraws case weeks before Supreme Court hearing

NCPA November 17, 2021

Last week, the CVS pharmacy chain reached an agreement with a group of disability rights organizations and dropped a case that was set to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court in December. The company formally withdrew its complaint last Thursday and announced plans to work with four disability rights groups. The case, CVS Pharmacy, Inc. vs. Doe, stemmed from a lawsuit filed against CVS by multiple people who take prescription drugs for HIV/AIDS. The plaintiffs objected to terms that would not allow them to opt out of mail-only delivery or use another pharmacy with experience handling their special medication needs. They argued it had a discriminatory impact on them, even if that wasn't the company's intent. Read more about the case here.
