Program Description

Managed care organizations and biopharmaceutical companies today are reimagining how to deliver sustained value and protect future innovation amid significant health policy changes.

Key areas that will be covered in this upcoming AMCP webinar will include:

  • Mapping the latest policy updates - ranging from manufacturer negotiations on drug pricing to government directives aimed at lowering health insurance costs.
  • Forecasting potential future impacts for stakeholders in managed care pharmacy and the biopharmaceutical industry to empower informed decision-making and enhance patient support.
  • Sharing real-world insights on how organizations are adapting to current and forecasted policy changes.

During the live session, attendees can engage directly with experts at the forefront of policy changes and pose real-time questions on how rapidly shifting market and regulatory factors could have long-term - and possibly global - implications for pricing, affordability, and patient access.

Learning Objectives

  1. Provide an overview of key health policy updates introduced in late 2025 and early 2026 with a focus on global reference pricing as a benchmark, direct government negotiation, and consumer affordability.
  2. Explore short- and long-term market dynamics, regulatory requirements, and operational risks affecting supply chains and businesses in the healthcare sector.
  3. Examine the application of best practices for influencing patient access, healthcare delivery, and pricing amid evolving changes.
