Medical and Scientific Communications 2013 Annual Forum

With the rising cost of health care, managed care organizations and payers are increasingly tightening their control on drug utilization. Payers utilize the Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee process to make decisions regarding drug coverage and maintain drug formularies. The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) has developed the AMCP Format for Formulary Submissions to guide manufacturers on the development and provision of product dossiers upon unsolicited requests from payers. This session will provide participants with an overview of the managed care landscape, an update of the Format, and a discussion of the evidentiary needs from a payer’s perspective.
