CPP Director Sarah Davis explains the complexities of self-funded health plans, currently the most common form of health coverage in the U.S., for PBS Wisconsin’s new series on rising medication costs.
Her insight comes after a Wisconsin leukemia patient sought answers on why his self-funded health plan could not cover a $13,000 per month drug treatment.
