Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita says Indiana Medicaid has recovered $1.8 million as part of a $75 million national civil settlement resolving allegations of overbilling by Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. The state says the pharmaceutical company overcharged state Medicaid programs for drugs.

Rokita says of the $1.8 million, about $750,000 goes to the state, and the balance goes to the federal government.

The attorney general’s office says the settlements resolve allegations that Bristol-Myers Squibb misreported sales figures and underpaid drug rebates owed to the states.
