The amount represents Indiana's share of a $17.5 million settlement reached last week with 10 states and the federal government.
The Justice Department says the settlement resulted from an investigation into claims CVS collected more than it should have from Medicaid for filling prescriptions for people who have other insurance as well. Typically, pharmacies can only bill Medicaid for the amount of a patient's co-payment in those situations.
Zoeller said Thursday the total state settlement paid to the Indiana Medicaid program will be $858,176, including $572,117 for the state's share of Medicaid restitution and $286,058 for additional recoveries.
