Employer-sponsored health plans and experimental medical treatments: life and death cost/benefit decisions.
Empl Benefits J. 1994 Jun; 19(2):2-7.EB

Abstract

The process of determining whether--and how--to limit coverage for certain expensive, experimental medical treatments is complex and involves social, legal and economic considerations. However, employers do have several options for responsibly containing their health plan costs while meeting their employees' basic health care needs.
