AMCP Addresses 2025 Priorities to Congressional Leaders

Dear Leader Thune, Leader Schumer, Speaker Johnson, and Leader Jeffries:

The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) is the professional association leading the way to help patients get the medications they need at a cost they can afford. AMCP’s diverse membership of pharmacists, physicians, nurses, biopharmaceutical professionals, and other stakeholders leverage their specialized expertise in clinical evidence and economics to optimize medication benefit design and population health management and help patients access cost-effective and safe medications and other drug therapies. AMCP members improve the lives of nearly 300 million Americans served by private and public health plans, pharmacy benefit management firms, and emerging care models.

With public opinion of U.S. healthcare quality falling to a 24-year low, the need to reestablish public trust and streamline patients’ access to affordable, safe, and effective medications is of the utmost importance. AMCP and its members advocate for bipartisan legislation that eliminates bureaucratic barriers to high-quality, innovative therapies, while lowering the bill footed by patients, families, government, employers, and other healthcare payers. Two bills, the Medicaid VBPs for Patients (MVP) Act and the Access to Prescription Digital Therapeutics Act offer several pathways to reduce the nation’s overall healthcare spending while fostering a more efficient, navigable healthcare system.
