Medicare Changes: The Impact on Prescribers and How Pharma Can Respond
Request access to watch On Demand.
As health reform continues to mature, questions continue to swirl in the minds of pharmaceutical executives: How will health policy changes affect my business? How will they affect my key stakeholders? In the case of prescribers, health reform initiatives hold the potential to create significant adjustments to how and what care is delivered to Medicare beneficiaries.
In the fourth presentation in our five-part series, “Ensuring Patient Access in the Evolving Healthcare Market”, our speakers will discuss how legislative and regulatory changes such as expanded coverage, comparative effectiveness research and the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI) may pose significant challenges to healthcare providers -- and how these issues could impact patient access to care. This program will explore what manufacturers can do to develop a collaborative, proactive response to these challenges. Other topics to be covered include:
- Impact of Medication Therapy Management (MTM) programs
- Provider capacity issues related to expanded coverage (2014)
- Updates to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule/Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR)
- Strategic implications on patient assistance related to the shrinking Part D donut hole
- Future role of patient registries on coverage and access
- White-bagging: The commercial alternative to CAP
