WOONSOCKET, RHODE ISLAND - CVS Corporation will pay $1.1 million to settle claims it violated consumer protection laws in more than a dozen states including Tennessee. <br>
<br>
Attorneys general in 18 states -- including Georgia -- and the District of Columbia claimed the Rhode Island-based pharmacy chain improperly accepted full payment for prescriptions that were only partially filled because of stock shortages. <br>
<br>
The pharmacy can't accept any payment until a prescription is completely filled. <br>
<br>
The settlement did not require the pharmacy chain to admit any wrongdoing. <br>
<br>
CVS spokesman Todd Andrews says any incorrect billing for partially filled prescriptions was inadvertent.
