WALGREEN CO., Defendant. In this qui tam lawsuit under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729-32, and analogous state false claims statutes, plaintiffs have alleged that defendant Walgreen Co. overcharged Medicaid programs for co-payments on prescription medications (“overbilling”) and billed the same services for the same patient to both Medicaid and the patient’s private insurance (“double billing”). Second Am. Compl., dkt. 70. Walgreen has moved to dismiss the second amended complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1) and (b)(6), asserting that it is preempted by an earlier qui tam lawsuit filed by plaintiffs Thompson and Bieurance against Walgreen in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, United States ex rel. v. Walgreen Co. et al., D. Minn. Case No. 05-cv-759. Dkt. 74. Specifically, Walgreen contends that this court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over the current action under the “first-to-file” and “government action” bars of the False Claims Act (FCA), §§ 3730(b)(5) and (e)(3), and that res judicata precludes plaintiffs’ claims.
