Walgreens Copy Fee Class Action Lawsuit

By Kimberly Mirando

 

WalgreensAn unhappy customer has filed a class action lawsuit against Walgreens, claiming the drug store chain charges an illegal $55 flat fee for copies of health-care provider records.

Plaintiff Raymond Griggs alleges in the Walgreens copy fee class action lawsuit that he was charged a $55 flat fee for his Walgreens’ pharmacy records, which exceeded the statutorily permitted handling charge, cost of copies, and actual shipping charges allowed under Illinois law.

Under the law, pharmacies cannot charge more than a $24.81 handling charge for processing the request for copies; $0.93 cents per page for the first 25 pages; $0.62 cents per page for pages 26 through 50; $0.31 cents per page for all pages in excess of 50; and the charge cannot exceed $1.55 per page for any copies made from microfiche or microfilm and actual shipping costs.

The Walgreens copy fee class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of all Illinois residents who charged more than the statutory limit for a copy of their health records from Walgreens. It is seeking restitution of all fees paid to Walgreens in excess of what the law allows; compensatory, consequential and statutory damages; pre-judgment interest; exemplary, treble and punitive damages; and attorneys’ fees and expenses.

The case is Raymond Griggs v. Walgreen Co. d/b/a Walgreens, Case No. 11-L-685, Circuit Court of the Twentieth Judicial Court, St. Clair County, Illinois.
