CHEYENNE, Wyo. —

Four pharmaceutical companies have reached a nearly $50,000 settlement with the state of Wyoming for allegedly submitting false claims to the Medicaid program.

Wyoming Attorney General Bruce Salzburg says the companies failed to pay appropriate rebates for drugs that were paid for by Medicaid.

The companies are Mylan Pharmaceuticals, UDL Laboratories, AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals and Ortho McNeil Pharmaceutical. Nationwide, the companies will pay a total of $124 million to resolve charges that they violated the False Claims Act.
