Drummond announces settlement with Script Care resolving pharmacy audit review
OKLAHOMA CITY (March 16, 2026) – Attorney General Gentner Drummond today announced a settlement with Script Care, Ltd. following a review of its pharmacy audit practices in Oklahoma.
The Attorney General’s Office reviewed 27 audits involving 24 Oklahoma pharmacies in Script Care’s network. Script Care is a Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) which manages prescription drug plan benefits for insurers. The review found that over $38,000 had been inappropriately recouped during those audits under the Pharmacy Audit Integrity Act and the Patient’s Right to Pharmacy Choice Act. After investigation and discussions between the parties, the matter has been resolved without admission of liability.
Under the agreement, Script Care will pay a total of $135,000. The Attorney General’s Office will distribute $91,969 to impacted pharmacies. Approximately $43,000 will be retained by the Attorney General’s Office to cover investigation costs, legal expenses and ongoing oversight of the agreement.
“Oklahoma pharmacies are entitled to fair and lawful audit practices,” said Drummond. “When concerns are raised, we take them seriously and act accordingly. This settlement ensures accountability while reinforcing the standards set by Oklahoma law.”
Script Care’s President Kevin Brown noted the company’s commitment to compliance.
“We appreciate the constructive and professional dialogue with the Attorney General’s Office and the opportunity to resolve this matter,” Brown said. “While Script Care believes its practices have been consistent with applicable law, we are pleased to put this issue behind us and remain focused on serving Oklahoma pharmacies with transparency, collaboration, and a commitment to supporting patient access to care.”
Deputy Attorney General Michael T. Leake Jr., Director of the PBM Compliance and Enforcement Unit, and Assistant Attorney General Hallie Bovos, who led the review, said the resolution followed a thorough examination of multiple audits and pharmacy records, with Script Care cooperating fully to strengthen its audit procedures and reporting practices in line with Oklahoma law.
