A practice known as “white bagging,” in which health insurance companies require certain medications to be purchased through specialty pharmacies, has been growing across Wisconsin.
A recent survey by health care consulting firm Vizient Inc found that 83% of hospitals that had these medications delivered said the medications did not arrive on time, and 66% said that they had received the wrong dose for those medications.
Producer Nate Wegehaupt spoke with Joanne Alig of the Wisconsin Hospital Association about the practice, and a new law looking to address the issue.
