If you’re here from an email, here’s the short version: OptumRx agreed to pay $1.86 million to settle claims it made certain unsolicited prerecorded calls—and you may be eligible for a cash payment if you received one of those calls.
This post breaks it down fast so you can decide what to do next.
Why This Lawsuit Exists?
This class action claims that OptumRx violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by placing clinical adherence calls to people without proper consent, using an artificial or prerecorded voice.
According to the lawsuit, these calls were made to cell phone or VOIP numbers, and the recipients were not OptumRx customers or account holders.
OptumRx denies wrongdoing but agreed to a settlement to resolve the case.

You received a clinical adherence call

The call was received between April 20, 2020 and October 22, 2025
