A collective recourse against CVS to refuse to fill in high -dose opioid prescriptions for a patient can go ahead. Therefore ruled a federal judge this weekdevelopment in legal proceedings Reported by Pain News Network. CVS had decided to reject the trial, but he lost this battle.

While the judgeWilliam Smith Agree to drop CVS Caremark as a defendant in the trial, he judged that the rest of the case can continue - and this could create a major precedent.

This specific case concerns a Florida patient namedEdith Fuog. She is a survivor of breast cancer with a constellation of medical diseases, in particular the neuralgia of the trigeminal, lupus, arthritis and other conditions of chronic pain, according to the report of the network of news.

Fuog had continued CVS in 2020, when she declared that the company had discriminated against its discrimination and had violated the law on Americans with Disabilitites (ADA) in its refusal to fulfill its prescriptions. She filed the complaint at Rhode Island, where CVS has its headquarters.

In her trial, the patient alleges that the CVS pharmacists refused to fill her prescriptions of high -dose opioids tens of times because the daily doses exceeded the threshold considered as risky under the directives of the centers for diseease control (CDC) Established in 2016. This directive is technically voluntary, but health care providers often apply it.

Legally, pharmacists can refuse to fill the prescriptions they consider doubtful. But they should take measures to verify the legitimacy of the prescription, such as calling the patient's doctor. In her trial, the patient in Florida says that CVS has shown a desire not to call her doctor or even to probe her medical records.

Judge Smith ruled that Fuog was legally qualified as a disabled person and needed the higher dose to treat his pain. "Ms. Fuog pleaded enough facts for the court to conclude that it is plausible that prescriptions on the threshold are generally refused significant access to this advantage, and also disproportionately or mainly disabled," wrote the judge.
