The poster hall is where attendees meet the people behind the evidence. With presenters discussing their methods, limitations, and findings in real time, research becomes a conversation that can sharpen the next study and the next decision.

This morning’s #AMCPNexus keynote was moderated by AMCPs own Tom Casey, Associate Director, Government Affairs who proposed a question to a panel of experts with major implications for managed care: which models are best equipped for the pressures ahead? “This panel really shined a light on how managed care stakeholders must continually navigate complex drug pricing models to make medications more affordable and accessible to patients.” ~ Tom Casey, Associate Director, Government Affairs Thank you to our panelists: Melissa Andel, MPP, Principal, CommonHealth Solutions LLC Michelle Anderson, PharmD, Senior Director, Regulated Markets, Evernorth Health Services Spenser Smith, PharmD, Senior Clinical Pharmacist, Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina

Day one of the main #AMCPNexus program brought big questions into practical focus: Is an organization ready for AI? How should patient experience shape coverage? What can real-world data tell us now? The answers were not confined to the stage. They continued through the Expo Hall, poster discussions, LINK interest group roundtables, and new professional connections.

The future of medication value isn't one-size-fits-all. In a new Healthcare Brew story, AMCP’s Mitzi Wasik brings a managed care pharmacy perspective to the growing conversation around value-based pharmacy payment models. "There are many ways a value-based pharmacy contract can be structured. The parties involved in these agreements are often insurers, pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), pharmaceutical manufacturers, or pharmacies themselves, though not all are involved in every contract."
