CVS Fined $250K in Ohio for Understaffing and Medication Delays
CVS has been fined $250,000 by Ohio regulators for understaffing and improper medicine storage at a store in Canton. Inspectors found prescriptions weren't being filled in a timely manner, medicines were stored haphazardly, and the store was massively understaffed. The pharmacy was more than a month behind in filling prescriptions, and the store has been ordered to pay the fine and ensure appropriate staffing levels and prescription turnaround times. CVS stated that they have made improvements since the inspections in 2021 and are committed to providing high-quality care to patients.
