If you bought prescriptions at Walgreens using insurance between 2007 and late 2024, you could be owed money. Thanks to a massive $100 million class action settlement, insured customers who were overcharged for generic drugs may now claim their share.
But don’t wait—the deadline to file is April 17, 2025. Whether you spent a little or a lot, this guide will walk you through everything step-by-step.
Overview
The 2025 Walgreens Class Action Settlement addresses accusations that the pharmacy failed to apply its own Prescription Savings Club (PSC) discounts when calculating insured drug prices. That meant many customers unknowingly paid more than cash-paying customers would have for the same meds.
Here’s a quick summary:

Lawsuit
This all stems from a case called Russo, et al. v. Walgreen Co. filed in federal court in Illinois. Plaintiffs claimed Walgreens misrepresented its “usual and customary” prices by ignoring the PSC discounts when reporting prices to insurance companies.
So what happened? You, the insured customer, ended up paying more than necessary for generic drugs. Walgreens hasn’t admitted fault, but to put the matter to rest, they agreed to pay out $100 million.
