Indivior agreed to a $30 million antitrust class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that it worked with other companies to raise the cost of Suboxone, a treatment for opioid addiction.

The antitrust class action lawsuit accused Indivior of conspiring with other companies to raise the price of Suboxone and its generic alternatives. According to the plaintiffs in the case, they were forced to overpay for Suboxone as a result of the antitrust scheme.

Heres a copy of my email
Hello Mr. Puntin,
I am the Project Manager for the Suboxone Settlement, and your review request has been escalated to me.
Based on my review of your documentation, I am approving your claim as eligible as filed, and nothing further is needed from you at this time. We expect Class Consel to file for distribution sometime in the next 45 days, and await the Court’s approval to calculate the payouts for each eligible claim and distribute.
Best Regards,
Marie Christie
Project Manager
Who did you email?
People keep saying about getting emails, I have never received one, can anyone elaborate more
Did. You get email back before new year asking verify claim that’s the only thing they’ve sent out besides replies to emails sent to them I wouldn’t expect hear anything until late in year or more to be honest not worth it payment is going to be an insult but if they do send payment it’ll be check in mail once everything is approved they have millions claims process and fraudulent ones toss out after that has been approved by court distr payments
They have the pool of eligible people down to 10,000.
I hope so they wouldn’t give me anymore info just still processing and that I’m eligible and still could be few months and has be signed off by judge again
I used my old law school software to check the docket. AB Data filed a status update stating there are 10k eligible people down from millions. They said they should submit for final approval in early October at the latest.
I was told by Mrs Cynthia Rivers when I called the AB data suboxone administration number on the website she said they’ve narrowed down the 10s of millions of fraudulent claims to a few million “valid” claims and well. Do the math it was a 30 million dollar settlement and that’s that. So between her validation of the 6$ amount and basic math WELL were ALL GETTING F**K*D OVER BY INDIVIOR AGAIN…… AND MY TEETH ARE RUINED. 20 YEARS OF HERION ABUSE AND NO ISSUES WITH MY TEETH. TWO YRARS OF SUBOXONE AND I CANT EVEN SMILE ANYMORE. I KNOW THIS ISNT THE VENUE TO VENT MY APOLOGIES BUT YEAH 6$ PER MONTH. ALL INDIVIOR IS ABOUT IS PROFIT AT ABSOLUTELY ANY EXPENSE AND WE ARE THAT EXPENSE THE ONES KEEPING THEM IN BUSINESS
I think you got some bad info also you might want to look into tooth decay lawsuit that’s separate also as far as I know amount of payments hasn’t been determined they’re still going through claims and making a list of all eligible claims once that’s done they have show claims admin and it goes back in front of the judge after that they’ll know the amount and when and how by sounds of it probably 2026 the payment would be a check and one time only only not monthly
Def not worth waiting on this settlement or even cashing whatever check they do send law firm is the only ones who benefited from this
Any receive a check yet
Nope! I heard that the checks won’t go out until November-December of this year.
10 years of Records and ONLY 6$ PER MONTH is what I’m told I will receive but NOT UNTIL JANUARY. WHAT A JOKE. What a terrible company Indivior is it’s like they just toy with us damn carrot on a stick right down the rabbit hole
Who told you $6 per month?
Got an email today with explanation of my having $1890.37 in purchases I will get 18% of that in about 90 days via paper check so I’m pretty happy with the outcome after waiting all this time especially with all these fake comments I see.
Thats what the email said? I had $82,346.44 in purchases
Says the guy posting a fake comment 😂 he’s proof they dk the amounts and haven’t sent anything out also def not getting % of claim doesn’t work like that it’s class action so if 32 million and there over million claims how is one person getting 18% of they submitted not happening.
We have processed the claim and any supporting documentation that you submitted in In Re: Suboxone (Buprenorphine Hydrochloride and Nalaxone compound) Antitrust Litigation. Based on our review of your claim no further action is needed by you at this time.
Distribution amounts have not been determined. That information is typically not known until approximately five (5) days before distribution.
We expect to have a motion filed with the Court in the next few months, and upon Court approval we will be able to distribute to those claimants who are eligible. This process is dependent upon the Court’s timeline. All Court Documents are available to the public and are on the case website for your review, should you need a more detailed Plan of Allocation, or the full settlement Notice, at
I got 18% of my total payments I made 1890.37 so that’s like FINALLY damn this dragged on forever it seems like but happy to finally get paid
Then got paid something else cause no amounts or payments have been approved there is to many claims for anyone to get anywhere near their claim settlement is only 30 million and there’s millions of claims we will be lucky to get $20
I say we start a petition for them have return the settlement this firm clearly messed up the entire class action suit been told “few months” since deadline ridiculous not mention millions in fraudulent claims they say they’re processing so that screws the people who actually were scammed of thousands of dollars on this medication

This isnt the tooth lawsuit. I think maybe your really confused. Ive contacted them many times and they straight out refuse to discuss amounts. Thats because there still going thru all claims.
