11:59 AM EST, 01/14/2025 (MT Newswires) -- UnitedHealth Group's ( UNH ) OptumRx, CVS Health's ( CVS ) Caremark Rx and Cigna's ( CI ) Express Scripts marked up a number of specialty generic drugs at their affiliated pharmacies by hundreds or thousands of percent, the US Federal Trade Commission said Tuesday.

The practice allowed the three pharmacy benefit managers and their affiliated specialty pharmacies to generate revenue of more than $7.3 billion from dispensing drugs in excess of their projected acquisition costs from 2017 to 2022, the FTC said.

UnitedHealth ( UNH ), CVS and Cigna ( CI ) didn't immediately respond to MT Newswires' requests for comment.
