INDIANAPOLIS - J&B Medical Supply has been dismissed from a lawsuit alleging it had sold blood glucose test strips under the retail pharmacy benefit rather than the DME benefit.
All charges were dismissed without prejudice and without costs, according to a court filing.
The lawsuit, filed earlier this year by Roche Diagnostics and Roche Diabetes Care, claimed that they wrongfully paid millions of dollars in rebates in lost millions of dollars in legitimate sales to an alleged scheme by several pharmacies and medical supply companies.
J&B Medical at the time said it stopped purchasing test strips from Roche in 2009.
In addition to the Wixom, Mich.-based J&B Medical, the suit named several other Michigan companies: Binson's Hospital Supplies and Northwood, both of Centerline; Olympus Global in East Lansing; and Delta Global in Flint; as well as Alpha XE in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
