Roche TCPA settlement

A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging Roche Diagnostics Corp. violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and the Indiana Deceptive Consumer Sales Act by sending unsolicited fax advertisements.

Pharmacies that received one or more fax advertisements from Roche between April 11, 2012 and March 17, 2017 regarding the availability or quality of its property, goods or services may be entitled to compensation from the TCPA class action settlement.

The TCPA class action lawsuit was filed against Roche in April 2016 by plaintiff Econo-Med Pharmacy Inc. Econo-Med alleged Roche violated the TCPA and IDCSA by sending unsolicited fax advertisements without providing an opt-out notice as required by law.

“Junk faxes disrupt recipients’ peace, drain recipients’ paper, ink and toner, and cause recipients tangible damages,” Econo-Med alleged in the Roche TCPA class action lawsuit. “Junk faxes also cause recipients to waste valuable time retrieving and discerning the purpose of the faxes; prevent fax machines from receiving and sending authorized faxes; and cause undue wear and tear on recipients’ fax machines.”

Econo-Med says that its ability to use its fax machine to receive communications about patients is impeded when it receives junk faxes from companies such as Roche.

Roche denies that it violated the law or did anything wrong. However, the company has agreed to settle the TCPA junk fax class action lawsuit to avoid the burden and expense of ongoing litigation. Roche has agreed to pay $17 million to end the litigation.

The Roche junk fax class action settlement was preliminarily approved on March 17, 2017.

Class Members who wish to opt out of or object to the Roche TCPA settlement must do so no later than July 17, 2017.

Potential Award

At least $500 (estimated). Payments will be distributed on a pro rata basis and will be determined based on the total number of timely and valid claims filed. Actual payments may be more or less than the estimated amount.

Proof of Purchase

N/A. Class Members must provide the number at which the Roche fax was received. This fax number will be used to verify your claim.

  2. Always knows says:

    Top Classaction please Delete All these Liars please!!

  3. Arnold says:

    Any updates…still waiting in NJ…i was hoping our pharm. Check would be a decent amount so that I could give my staff a small bonus (there’s 6 of us in total). Let’s see

  4. Nancy says:

    Maybe they don’t know the exact amount? My staff knows what mail is received but don’t know the contents.

    Why would anyone lie about receiving a small settlement check? If you’re counting on this to be your Christmas bonus, well, I feel sorry for you.

    1. Hmm says:

      Then just let everyone here know the amount of the check then..simple!

      1. Nance says:

        I just said maybe the staff isn’t aware of amount. Are you dense? From my perspective, it’s nonsense of the staffs business, especially if it’s going directly into the budget.

        1. Nance says:

          I’m a lying troll? Okay. Meanwhile my pharm has already received the check and you’re on here scrounging around.

  5. Seattle says:

    I called yesterday and the rep on the phone was not helpful. I have heard varying answers; previously I heard December but after she looked our pharmacy up she was not aware of a distribution date for the check. It could be possible that some pharmacy’s have received their checks? I work for a local mom& pop pharmacy with 2 locations in Seattle.

    1. Katherine says:

      How much was the check for??

      1. Deb says:

        Why won’t anyone say the check amount? We are all here for the same reason?? I find it odd…i keep calling to follow up with my check and I’m still waiitng

    2. ARNOLD says:

      I called yesterday KCC who is distributing the funds not the law firm anymore. The rep. At kcc found my acct and said it was “secured”and couldn’t access it and took my info for one of their ppl to call me back…i am lost and clueless as to what that means now

      1. ARNOLD says:

        Yes and completed it online in May and also mailed it

    3. John says:

      Can anyone that gas already gotten their check if it came certified or signature mail or regular mail? Thx

      1. John says:

        *has gotten

      2. Yo says:

        Why would it matter what way ir came?

        1. John says:

          It doesn’t matter at all…just curious

  6. Nance says:

    We have the check. I’m not sure the exact day it was delivered as the mail just got routed to our pharmacy and picked up by head RPh. I live in San Diego.

    1. Matthew says:

      How much was the check?

  7. mrs Jones says:

    I haven’t yet heard anything.

  8. Arnold says:

    Well that’s great news…i called last week and was told december

  9. Chandra says:

    We received the check last week. It was made out to our business, as did our sister pharmacy across town (different owner but used to work for us). I am wondering if checks cut to the business have been receiving theirs whereas checks cut to people are having a bit of a delay?

    1. HMMM says:

      Sounds like they are paying the ‘chain’ pharmacies first.

    2. ostem says:

      glad to hear that checks has start to go out,if you don’t mine me/we as a whole what is the dollar amount of check. all small business has been waiting a while now,and it will hep to give us some idea in what to expect.

    3. PC says:

      How much was the check?

    4. ostem says:

      Top Class Action,

      could you please give us a update on this case as to when we may start to see payments.Thanks

    5. mindie says:

      when did you receive your check? I’m wondering if they just did the bigger pharmacies first? how much is the amount they sent if you dont mind me asking?

  10. HMMM says:

    Hey Mr.B,
