CHARLESTON, W. VA — West Virginia authorities on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against Merck-Medco, a subsidiary of drug giant Merck, accusing it of pocketing more than $6 million. State Attorney General Darrell McGraw said the suit alleges fraud, breach of contract, and unjust enrichment.

According to the suit, Merck-Medco cost the state millions more by steering people covered by the Public Employees Insurance Agency to expensive, Merck-made drugs.
