White Bagging Dispensing: Convenient and Less Costly

Physician-administered drugs are those administered by a health care provider to a patient through injection or infusion, typically in a hospital outpatient setting or a provider’s office. Often high priced, these physician administered drugs represent a growing share of all prescription drug spending nationally. White bagging has real benefits for patients, providers, and payers such as employers and health plan sponsors. In addition to improving some patients’ experience, doubling the national use of white bagging could also save almost $120 billion over the next 10 years.
