Here are four things to know:

1. Ms. Bricker formerly served as president of Cigna’s pharmacy benefit manager, Express Scripts.

2. On Jan. 10, she resigned to become CVS’ executive vice president and chief product officer-consumer. She was set to begin her new position Feb. 20; however, Cigna sued to block her from taking the job.

3. In the lawsuit, Cigna alleged that CVS’ hiring of Ms. Bricker puts the company’s trade secrets at risk. CVS argued that Ms. Bricker’s noncompete clause is unenforceable because it is overly broad and anticompetitive.

4. In February, the judge issued a temporary restraining order, preventing Ms. Bricker from starting her new role.
