About
The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 ("Medicare Modernization Act" or "MMA") makes the most sweeping changes to Medicare since its inception. All pharmaceutical counsel, in order to effectively advise clients, must have a sophisticated understanding of the MMA - with special emphasis on the areas that will most effect pharmaceutical manufacturers.
American Conference Institute has developed this publication for in-house pharma counsel and their outside advisers to provide them with the information they need to understand the MMA and implement and comply with its many provisions.
This publication brought together an experienced faculty of leading national pharmaceutical defense experts, and representatives from CMS and the legislators who fashioned the bill, to provide you with the most practical, timely and sophisticated analysis of the MMA and its implications.
The publication will address critical issues including:
- The prescription drug discount card
- Strategies for contracting with PBMs
- The Medicare drug benefit
- Effect of the MMA on Medicaid
- How HSAs will impact drug prices
- Effective and compliant medication therapy management
