Nov 13 (Reuters) - Specialty pharmacy Park Irmat Drug Corp
is being removed from the network of OptumRx, the pharmacy
benefit unit of UnitedHealth Group (N:UNH) UNH.N , at the end of this
month, according to a lawsuit filed by Irmat.
In the suit, filed in New York Supreme Court, Irmat says it
received notice that it will be cut off from reimbursement by
OptumRx, which operates a mail-order pharmacy that competes with
Irmat, particularly for medicines that treat dermatological
ailments.
Irmat is seeking an injunction barring Optum from
terminating or excluding Irmat from its network.
