It’s time for lawmakers to push back against #whitebagging policies that shift costs to patients and put administrative strain on physicians. Read how these practices are harming healthcare delivery and need to change @medcitynews: https://t.co/TLGBn3dYTg
.@CSROAdvocacy @ACRheum @AdvocateSummit If #BUCA mandates #whitebagging to Pbm-owned specialty pharmacy, and u choose to accept this , please remember 2ask4 supplies. Drugs do not get infused via osmosis. Mandate they send u supplies, incl the saline. #rheumatology
A hospital buys saline bags from a vet hospital: More on the drug and med shortages affecting patients and doctors nationwide. After we wrote about this last week, we heard even more dire stories. New, on the blog.

#StateSuccessSpotlight This year CSRO advocated for #HB1647 in #Texas, a bill that would prohibit #whitebagging mandates. Thanks to CSRO’s efforts, the #TX #rheum community & bill sponsors Rep. Cody Harris + @DrSchwertner, HB 1647 has been signed into law – we make advocacy work.
FYI: Commercial #insurers pay *much* more to #hospitals vs. #physician offices & home infusion 💸
1. Poor negotiation by @AHIPCoverage members?
2. More #whitebagging via specialty #pharmacies ahead?

@TrishaReads8 @CVSHealth @KarenSLynch @michelleapeluso @BoesingLoretta @BethWaldron @USRepKeating @GSKUS @benlysta_us @KathleenArntsen @TruthRX @IAFaccess U r lucky u received a replacement. Their CS reps r trained 2 blame the shipping company, in this case, @UPS , which BTW, #CVS administers #UPS’ employees drugs under medical benefit mandated to #whitebagging (filled by CVS and shipped to MD offices to administer). @CSROAdvocacy
#whitebagging example from @MattieRheumMD is my office, and it subsequently resulted in employer approving buy and bill. There is NO WAY I would be complicit in ripping off this national employer by 3-4x more via accepting @CVSHealthPBM mandates. @thealliance @RelentlesHealth
We @CSROAdvocacy have put together a self insured employer tool kit speaking to these pitfalls in contracting with PBMs, including importance of understanding whose side your employer benefit consultant is on. Check out "Getting a White bagging Example" https://t.co/HEhtezvx9d
#StateSuccessSpotlight This year, CSRO advocated for amendments to multiple bills across the country to ensure non-dispensing #rheumatology practices were protected from #whitebagging mandates – we make advocacy work.
Try #PBM>3X as much. #Remicade J1745. Attached. @UPS employer and its employees will be best served discussing “cost savings” mandates with @CSROAdvocacy than with #PBM @CVSHealthPBM @CVSHealth @KarenSLynch #CVS #PatientsOverParties @medpagetoday @joycefr @pcmanet #whitebagging
Transparency is the key. PBMs refuse to put specific numbers on the table when it comes to dealings with employers, pharmacies and even the government ( state and federal.) The obscene profits that these middlemen accrue tells the tory.
If your insurance company requires that you purchase your medication from a specialty pharmacy instead of through your infusion office, you have been a victim of a specialty pharmacy or “white bagging” mandate.

#StateSuccessSpotlight This year, CSRO led the introduction of SB 3924 & HB 4774 in #Illinois, bills that would prohibit #whitebagging mandates. Thanks to CSRO’s advocacy efforts, this issue is now on the agenda for IL lawmakers - we make advocacy work.
Attention @UPS with👉#CVS and @GEHealthcare with 👉#Optum, pay attention, look under the hood. Receipts will show u r being overcharged by thousands, per member, per infusion, via mandated #rheumatology #whitebagging. No “savings” to employees. 👇👇
@TNPharmacists @BCBST has lead the pack on mandates 2 #pbms 4 infusion drugs. rolled out in 2020 and employers don’t understand it. @PathGroupLabs HR was unaware of what a PBM was until we educated them. Now we have an override in place 4 their employees. @CSROAdvocacy
#whitebagging saves insurers money, but patients pay the price: improperly stored medication, delays in treatment, and the need to reschedule care.
@drarambula559 @AsmAguiarCurry put patient safety first: vote yes on #SB958.

Great wording @Optum but ur @OptumRx division, mandated by @UHC @UHC_EH who blames @GEHealthcare SPD #whitebagging policy, is charging #GE >$1,800/VIAL of @JanssenUS #SimponiAria, while CMS fee schedule= 750.70 Q2; 734.45 Q3 under buy and bill from drs. Cc: @CSROAdvocacy @mcuban
As spending on specialty medications has risen, so has the need for innovation. Optum Rx has new solutions purpose-built to manage these costs.
These growing profits were driven by mail order and specialty pharmacy services. Meanwhile, health insurance premiums increased by nearly 11% during that same time period.

#Whitebagging hurts patient safety.
Example: 8-week delay in treatment for a teen with Crohn’s disease due to delays in approving & delivering a white-bagged drug from a pharmacy 2,700 miles away – Madera, CA

#Whitebagging hurts patient safety.

#yeson958 #patientsafety
Pharmacists and orgs like @AAPCA1, @AmerPhysGrps, @CCHAssociation, @CSCCdocs, @cadhlf, and @TheUSONetwork have joined the coalition supporting #SB958 because they know #whitebagging causes delays, costs more, and puts patients at risk.
We’re co-sponsoring #SB958 with @CSHP_Official, which includes patient protections that ensure safety, not profit, is the deciding factor for prescriptions.

Exactly as she said👇👇👇#PCMA and #AHIP also bring in their cronies from out of state to try and influence WI state laws. #whitebagging cc: @SenDarling @SenatorTestin @RepAndraca
🤢🤮 Watch this video of PCMA, the association for pharmacy benefit managers bullying our legislators who are trying to save America's access to pharmacies. Basically, it doesn't matter what legislation is passed, PCMA says they'll still do what they want @JasonSmithMO @HawleyMO
