M E E T I N G A G E N D A Sunday, May 18, 2014 Managed Care Industry: How Things Have Changed in the Coverage of Compounded Medications 3:00-4:00 p.m. This program is made possible through an unrestricted educational grant-in-aid from MEDISCA. In this session, attendees will discuss examples of compounded products and determine whether they would or would not be generally acceptable for payment by a commercial or Part D health plan. Attendees will outline steps to improve claim submissions for compounded products. Additionally, attendees will engage in discussion on today’s compounding practice, enforcement activities, and identify tomorrow’s opportunities. Presented by: Mary Jo Carden, RPh, JD, Director, Regulatory Affairs, Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy; Jonathan E. Levitt, Esq., Frier Levitt, LLC Program type: Knowledge-Based Third Party Networks: Examine Industry Trends on Limited Provider Networks 4:00-5:00 p.m. This program is made possible through an unrestricted educational grant-in-aid from Humco Compounding. The marketplace economics driving reimbursement for compounds are almost identical to the ones that impacted traditional prescription drugs 15 years ago – ever decreasing payment for ingredients, the beginning identification of preferred suppliers over others, the denial of coverage for entire classes of medicines, and the formation of exclusive and limited provider networks. Even government programs like Medicaid and Medicare are under pressure to reduce drug spending by changing the traditional “any willing provider” philosophy under which those major payors have operated since their Monday, May 19, 2014 inception. What does the future hold for compounders? Are limited provider networks inevitable? This insightful seminar will show how network formation for compounding pharmacies are already underway and what IACP members need to know in order to adjust their business models to take advantage of those opportunities.
