Background of the Case
The lawsuit—Patterson v. OptumRx, Inc., No. 1:24-cv-00689-TWP-KMB—alleges that OptumRx violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by using artificial or prerecorded voices to place clinical adherence calls without prior express consent. The TCPA allows statutory damages of $500 per call (or up to $1,500 for willful violations). OptumRx denies wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid further litigation risk and expense.
