Johnson & Johnson Worker Alleges Company Overpaid for Drugs

 

• Employee says company breached duty to spend funds responsibly
• Lawsuit filed in New Jersey seeks class-action status

Johnson & Johnson was sued by an employee who said the company’s health plan wasted workers’ money by paying inflated prices for prescription drugs.

In one instance, the health plan agreed to pay more than $10,000 for a drug to treat multiple sclerosis, a chronic nerve condition, that’s available for as little as $40 at retail pharmacies, according to the suit filed Monday in federal court in Camden, New Jersey.
