<div class="WHALinkBlue">Patients First Wisconsin is an initiative aimed at educating health care stakeholders, legislative leaders and the general public about the threat to health care quality, safety and affordability posed by insurance
companies requiring certain drugs to be purchased through their exclusive specialty pharmacies, a practice known as “white bagging.” </div>
<br>
<h3 class="WHA-secondary">What is White Bagging? </h3>
<div class="WHALinkBlue">Insurance company mandated (also known as payer-mandated) white bagging is a practice by insurance companies requiring that certain life-changing medications be shipped from a source that
they dictate, rather than using the patient’s local hospital pharmacy. Patients with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, hemophilia or cancer, could be impacted by these
policies. <br>
<br> According to a <a href="https://www.vizientinc.com/-/media/documents/sitecorepublishingdocuments/public/noindex/whitebaggingreport.pdf" target="_blank">recent report</a>, <strong>83% of hospitals</strong> surveyed said that specialty
medications delivered to them for patient administration through white bagging <strong>did not arrive on time</strong>, and another <strong>66% of hospitals</strong> said that they have received the <strong>wrong dose</strong>.
