Heading: The $4 Generics Program

Text: Beginning in March 2008, Safeway offered certain generic prescription drugs for $4. The “$4 Generics Program” was limited to four of Safeway’s geographic divisions, as well as five pharmacies in its Denver division. The specific drugs available at this rate changed over time, but when Safeway listed a generic drug on its “formulary,” customers could re‐ ceive a 30‐day supply of that drug for $4, a 60‐day supply for $8, and a 90‐day supply for $12. All customers were eligible for these prices, including cash customers, participants in government health programs, and customers with private in‐ surance. The parties agree that Safeway reported $4 as the U&C price for drugs on its formulary at locations participat‐ ing in the $4 Generics Program. Safeway advertised the avail‐ ability of its $4 generics formulary until July 2010, when it dis‐ continued the program.
