Plan Payments for Specialty Medications Tripled Depending on Site of Treatment (PDF)
Employee Benefit Research Institute [EBRI] Sept. 10, 2021 "[On] average, plan payments to [hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs)] were triple what plan payments were to [physician offices (POs)] for the same unit of medication. The median unit price differential was 100 percent, or double for HOPDs vs. POs.... [E]mployers could cut spending by $14.1 billion by shifting patients away from more costly HOPD settings or by negotiating site-neutral pricing for specialty medications. This represents 1.5 percent of total health care spending on workers and their families." |
