Chargebacks & Commercial Rebates

Wednesday, January 25 to Thursday, January 26, 2012
The Millennium UN Plaza Hotel, New York, NY

Acquire solutions to industry-wide chargeback and rebate challenges

Revenue leakage costs US pharmaceutical companies an estimated $11 billion (over 4% of revenues) annually. Even one misstep in the chargeback and rebate processes can cost everyone involved millions of dollars. Wholesalers, GPOs, manufacturers, and PBMs are all essential players in contracting and rebates. And although their interests vary, they all must work together to ensure that the system works smoothly and conveys volumes of accurate data between parties daily. ACI’s Chargebacks and Commercial Rebates conference brings together all the key industry stakeholders to develop solutions that can work for every party in the healthcare distribution chain.

Addressing a pressing need, stakeholders at this event will hear invaluable insights on the big problems – validation difficulties, 340B challenges, and class-of-trade guideline inconsistencies – and expert views on existing solutions for them. This unparalleled opportunity will break down barriers that divide wholesalers, GPOs, and manufacturers as well as the divisions separating groups in individual companies, creating a forum for these diverse groups to share ideas on overcoming the problems that plague the industry.

Block revenue leakage and improve your business’s bottom line

Through competent explanation and instruction on how to develop best practices for dealing with 340 identification issues, membership list management, rebates, returns, EDI data, and validation, this conference will help you learn to streamline chargeback and rebate systems to minimize costs and improve your business. ACI’s faculty of experienced industry leaders will detail their real-world experiences and share practical techniques for effective cost containment and efficient management of chargebacks and rebates.

For executives new to the chargeback and rebate process, ACI’s pre-conference workshop, Chargebacks and Commercial Rebates 101 will concentrate on the fundamentals of commercial contracting and prepare attendees for the more involved and technical discussions taking place throughout the main conference. In addition, the post-conference working group session, Best Practices for Managing Chargebacks and Rebates, offers a forum for stakeholders to share what have and have not worked in their efforts to manage chargebacks and rebates.

The opportunity to hear the perspectives of every player in the healthcare industry will challenge what you think you know about chargebacks and rebates.
