The Rising Cost of Medication
Advancing Managed Care Strategies
Each year, AMCP’s Board of
Directors establishes the policy and advocacy focus areas for the Academy.
Those areas then become the primary focus of AMCP’s advocacy efforts. They are
developed during a joint meeting of the Public Policy Committee and the
Legislative and Regulatory Action Committee (LRAC) held during NEXUS. At that
meeting, Committee members review the results of the annual member survey and
discuss relevant legislative and regulatory actions that impact managed care
pharmacy. After careful consideration they develop recommendations which are
then reviewed by the Board and a final decision is made.
AMCP staff and committee members will focus on strategies where
AMCP can be most effective in these targeted focus areas. Increasing your
participation in response to grassroots alerts is your opportunity to
participate in those efforts. Your participation is a necessary key element of AMCP’s
overall efforts to continue to ensure that the voice of managed care pharmacy
is heard.
Please join us for a
webinar to learn more about these advocacy and focus areas: http://www.amcp.org/Newsletter.aspx?id=24155
