Insurance companies are mandating new policies that jeopardize patient safety.
Big insurance companies recently started requiring health care providers and pharmacies to obtain specialty drugs, like chemotherapy treatment and other infusion medications, from designated pharmacies who are owned or affiliated with the insurance company, instead of the pharmacies clinicians normally rely on for quality and access.
It’s called White Bagging.
This practice prevents health care providers from controlling the handling, preparation, dosage, and storage conditions of these drugs prior to administration – creating major patient safety concerns.
The Indiana state legislature is standing strong for Hoosiers.
The Indiana General Assembly has moved quickly to protect Hoosiers that are directly affected by the practice of white bagging.
We’re committed to protecting patients.
Hoosiers for Safe Meds has come together to establish guardrails around mandatory white bagging practices to preserve quality and patient safety and ensure care is not delayed for Hoosiers.
We serve patients across the state.
