Press Release: The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) is delighted to announce the appointment of Cynthia Reilly, MS, BS Pharm, as Senior Vice President.
Press Release: Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) CEO Susan A. Cantrell, RPh, CAE, will represent the payers’ perspective in a panel discussion on the use of value assessments in drug coverage decisions at the upcoming ISPOR 2018 Conference, May 19-23, in Baltimore.
The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) strongly supports the committee’s drive to combat the opioid epidemic. While searching for solutions to a widespread problem which has impacted the lives of many across the nation, there has been a consensus that no “one size fits all” solution exists and therefore AMCP believes that a holistic, comprehensive, and multi-stakeholder approach among health care providers and patients is necessary to truly address the opioid epidemic.
The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) writes in strong opposition to House Bill 4146. House bill 4146 “prohibits a health care plan from modifying an enrollee’s drug coverage in a plan year by (A) increasing out-of-pocket costs for a covered drug; (B) moving a prescription to a more restrictive tier; or (C) removing a prescription drug from a formulary.”
