HOOSIERS FOR SAFE MEDS

Hoosiers for Safe Meds has come together to establish guardrails around mandatory white bagging practices to preserve quality and patient safety and ensure care is not delayed for Hoosiers... The Indiana legislature validated concerns associated with white bagging by passing a bill into law this session requiring the Indiana Department of Health, in consultation with the Indiana Board of Pharmacy, the Indiana Department of Insurance, and the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration, to examine and report to the legislature on the safety of these policies by July 1, 2021... Insurance companies have represented that these measures will reduce costs, but when it comes to patient safety, no cost saving measure is worth the risk. Not only will these policies result in delayed patient care and wasted drug costs, but they will add administrative costs to the health care system due to rescheduling critically ill patients.
