CVS meets with Pharmacy Board over prescription privacy

Posted: Updated:

Indianapolis - CVS allowed your personal health information to be dumped in the trash. Now the pharmacy chain and several of its pharmacists are trying to reach a settlement with the state to avoid serious penalties.

The Pharmacy Board met in downtown Indianapolis Monday. At the same time, representatives from CVS met with board members and the attorney general's office behind closed doors.
