Texas AG Investigates CVS Supply Chain Practices for Medicaid Compliance
· Texas Border Business
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sent a letter to CVS Health concerning the company's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices, which may violate state and federal civil rights laws. The letter highlights that CVS's Supplier Diversity Program reserves contracts for certain demographic groups, including minority and women-owned businesses. Paxton argues that individuals should be evaluated based on merit rather than demographic criteria. He warns that discriminatory practices could lead to significant liabilities under the Texas Health Care Program Fraud Prevention Act. CVS has 14 days to report compliance steps to the Attorney General's office.
