UnitedHealth and its pharmacy benefit manager OptumRx are being sued by an independent pharmacy for allegedly forcing them into accepting unreasonable performance-based fees. Osterhaus Pharmacy in Iowa claims the contracts, including direct remuneration fees, could make them dispense prescriptions at a loss.

Osterhaus alleges that OptumRx set metrics for the fees and forced them on pharmacies who must pay to remain in its Medicare Part D network.
