We found wide variation in the evidence that US commercial health plans reported reviewing in their specialty drug coverage policies. There was little consistency in the numbers or types of studies cited by health plans. On average, only 15 percent of health plans' coverage policies cited the same study evaluating a specific drug for a specific indication.
