Lawyers at Boies Schiller Flexner, including antitrust heavyweight William Isaacson, have hit a group of Anthem-owned insurance companies with a lawsuit claiming they illegally dropped a California pharmacy from their network of prescription drug providers.

CZ Services Inc., a Richmond-based company owned by former Sun Microsystems CEO Jonathan Schwartz which does business as CareZone Pharmacy, leaned on the Boies Schiller lawyers to sue Anthem Insurance Companies Inc., Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City, and Premera Blue Cross. The lawsuit, filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, claims that the insurers’ pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts Inc., which is not named as a defendant in the suit, terminated CareZone from participating in the insurers’ “pharmacy network plan” in violation of state laws in California and Tennessee.
