Frier Levitt partner Jesse Dresser is featured in an AIS Health article, “J&J Adds Express Scripts, Accredo to SaveOnSP Lawsuit Over Copay Maximizer” by Angela Maas. The piece details how Johnson & Johnson (J&J) has intensified its legal battle against SaveOnSP by including two divisions of The Cigna Group, Express Scripts and Accredo, as defendants in its ongoing lawsuit.
