Master the calculations and complexities of government payor programs.

Now in its eighth iteration, ACI’s Rx Drug Pricing Boot Camp has been designed to provide drug manufacturers, PBMs, plans, and pharmacies with the critical information they need to effectively and efficiently manage government pricing.  This conference is a marriage of a primer on the basics of pricing for government payor programs and a comprehensive, in-depth, training program that will ensure that your pricing group and other related departments are well-versed in critical pricing concepts and methodologies, and are apprised of trends, best practices, and imminent changes. This course will enhance your understanding of complicated pricing calculations and will bring you up to speed on the latest in government pharmaceutical pricing. 

Understand how the implementation of health care reform is impacting government pricing practices.

Gain best practices to comply with new regulations.

At the time of printing this brochure, CMS had yet to release its draft final rules for 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 and 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. 

Learn from and network with your fellow pricing and reimbursement professionals.

In addition to intensive training in core pricing methodologies and concepts, ACI’s Rx Drug Pricing Boot Camp, also provides the opportunity to network with fellow pricing colleagues.  With 80% of attendees coming from drug manufacturers, PBMs, plans and pharmacies, this is the perfect opportunity to find out what other companies are struggling with and how they are overcoming their pricing related challenges.
