Brown Bagging"Brown bagging" drugs is a growing problem for independent oncologists in several areas of the country. The Oncology Nursing Society has adopted a position that Medicare
should "l not implement or allow the use of cost-cutting strategies,
such as brown-bagging, which interfere with quality cancer care and
unfairly burden Medicare beneficiaries with responsibilities for purchasing
and handling expensive and often temperature- or light-sensitive therapies."
