AMCP opposes government regulation of drug pricing because of the potential for unintended consequences and supports the elimination of barriers to competition to bring down the high cost of prescription drugs.

The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) supports scientifically sound research that compares the effectiveness and value of prescription drugs, as well as research aimed at tailoring treatment options to individual patients’ needs.

AMCP supports the recognition of pharmacists as providers. When pharmacists are recognized as provider members of the health care team, patient outcomes improve, and patients report higher rates of satisfaction while overall health care costs are reduced. Recognized provider status would allow pharmacists to be reimbursed for providing health care services to patients. In a survey conducted in 2023 commissioned by Wolters Kluwer Health, 58% of Americans agreed that they are more likely to seek non-emergency medical care from a pharmacist.
