A federal judge in Delaware has ordered Walgreens Boots Alliance to pay $987 million to Everly Health Solutions, formerly known as PWNHealth, following an arbitration dispute related to a COVID-19 testing services contract. The arbitration award stems from claims that Walgreens breached the terms of a 2020 business contract during the pandemic. Walgreens contended that the award was excessively high, arguing it was twelve times the maximum damages of $79 million stipulated in the contract and would represent the largest award under federal false advertising law protecting trademarks. In a separate development, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth has agreed to pay over $20 million to settle a lawsuit from the Department of Labor, which accused it of violating federal benefits law and its own health plan policies by rejecting claims for emergency room services and drug tests. Additionally, UnitedHealth has hired a defamation law firm to address social media criticisms of the company.
