AMCP Annual Government Relations Priority Issues 

Each year, AMCP establishes government relations priority issues that become the focus of AMCP’s advocacy efforts for that year. The priority issues are developed during a joint meeting of the Public Policy Committee and the Legislative and Regulatory Action Committee (LRAC). At that meeting, Committee members and AMCP staff review the results of an AMCP member survey and discuss relevant federal and state legislative and regulatory actions that impact managed care pharmacy. After careful consideration of AMCP’s strategic initiatives, member input, and pertinent legislative and regulatory actions, the committees develop recommendations, which are reviewed by the Board before a final decision is made on the year’s priority issues.
