The ninth iteration of ACI’s National Rx Drug Pricing Boot Camp promises to supply crucial information on effective and efficient management of government pricing programs to drug manufacturers, PBMs, plans, and pharmacies. Marrying a primer on the basics of pricing for government payor programs and a comprehensive, in-depth, training program, this conference ensures that pricing groups and other related departments are well-versed in critical concepts and methodologies. Further, you will be apprised of trends, best practices, and imminent changes in government payor programs and pricing areas. This course will enhance your understanding of complicated pricing calculations and will bring you up to speed on the latest in government pharmaceutical pricing.

Gain best practices to comply with new regulations

At press time, CMS has yet to issue its new regulations governing the calculation AMP. It is anticipated that at the time of this event the CMS rule will be finalized and the industry will be facing the challenge of complying with and responding to these new rules. This conference will bring you up-to-the-minute information on recently enacted rules, regulations, and CMS guidance, detailing how your company can incorporate changes resulting from the implementation of health care reform into your pricing and compliance practices. Our faculty of pricing experts will help maximize your company's participation in government payor programs by eliminating the confusion and uncertainty created by health care reform.

Network with and learn from your fellow pricing and reimbursement professionals

In addition to intensive training in core pricing concepts, the 9th National Rx Drug Pricing Boot Camp is also an excellent forum for drug pricing professionals to network with their peers. This event typically has about 80% of its attendees come from drug manufacturers, PBMs, plans and pharmacies, making it an excellent place to hear experts from other companies on how they overcome pricing challenges.
