A conference designed for disproportionate share hospitals, the pharmaceutical industry, GPOs, wholesalers, and others concerned about providing quality pharmaceutical care to low-income and uninsured populations while ensuring compliance with drug pricing laws.

Introduction

The Medicare Rx reform law is the most sweeping health reform legislation in four decades. It will have a major impact on all parties involved in the delivery of pharmaceutical care and will have a profound effect on the various stakeholders involved in the acquisition and delivery of pharmaceutical care to our nation’s low-income and uninsured populations. The law also has major implications for various federal drug discount programs including the 340B and Medicaid rebate programs.  The Public Hospital Pharmacy Coalition will host a one day national conference in Washington, DC on February 27th that will provide your institution or company with the information it needs to prepare for this new environment. 

You will hear from key officials from Federal and State governments on how to comply and implement key provisions of the law including the new drug discount card, best price exemptions for buyers such as DSH hospitals, Medicare PBMs and retiree health plans, and the new hospital pharmacy outpatient reimbursement system.  You will also hear from HRSA’s Pharmacy Affairs Branch on various initiatives including the new prime vendor program. This conference is unparalleled in providing timely information and relevant strategies for providers and industry representatives on how to prepare for government regulation of the new pharmacy world.
