How familiar are you with “white bagging?” Maybe you’ve heard of it but aren’t sure what it is or how it affects your facility. Here’s a quick explanation: white bagging means payers reimburse third-party pharmacies, which then distribute the medications to outpatient medical providers, removing your ability to make changes to a patients’ medication.
This method opposes the more traditional “buy and bill” where providers — you — buy and store certain drugs and bill the payers following administration to the patient, allowing more control over patient care.
How will white bagging affect you? This billing method has the potential to upset the current system, potentially sacrificing patient safety and health care quality to benefit profit margins. Additionally, white bagging sidelines many “guardrails” in the medication administration and handling process.
