CDIPC manages high drug costs for the insurance industry through two pooling levels. The EP3 pool covers individual plans for claims above a threshold, usually $10,000. The CDIPC industry pool then covers recurring claims over $32,500 across the insurance industry. This system allows for affordability, availability, and transferability of drug coverage. In its fourth year, CDIPC has pooled over $24 million in claims and helped insurers manage unpredictable drug costs. However, new specialty drugs like Kalydeco continue driving costs higher, presenting ongoing challenges for CDIPC.
