IIR's 14th Annual Summit on the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program

The Medicaid Drug Rebate Program (MDRP) Summit, created and developed by the Institute for International Research, has been at the forefront of policy changes and operational compliance, bringing a unique mix of contracting and pricing specialists together with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Department of Justice (DOJ), and Office of Inspector General (OIG) leadership. No other event provides participants with face-to-face access to: CMS representatives who will clarify your most pressing operational rebate compliance and policy questions; DOJ officials who will describe lessons learned from current Medicaid fraud litigations; National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) staff who will detail the Average Manufacturer Price (AMP) and Average Wholesale Price (AWP) litigation; and Department of Defense representatives who will share the new TriCare pricing schedule. There also will be dispute resolution meetings facilitated by the CMS and much, much more.
