Policy Summit Overview

The inaugural AMCP Pharmacy Policy Summit will be held on October 27, 2025, and will bring leading health policy experts together to discuss critical topics impacting the pharmacy profession, especially managed care pharmacy. With the transition to a new administration, the health policy community faces uncertainty around key issues such as the Inflation Reduction Act, Medicaid reform, PBM reform, biosimilars and generics, and the 340B program.

AMCP members, patient advocacy groups, think tanks, and health care associations will engage in meaningful dialogue, network with peers, and explore solutions to the most pressing challenges facing pharmacy practice today.

Session 2A—PBM Reform:          
Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) have been the focus of discussion in Washington, DC. Congress has discussed reforms to the commercial market over the last few years and smaller reforms to PBM practices in Medicaid. This panel discussion will address the impact of the changes as well as the road ahead for additional reforms.  

Session 2B—Breaking Topic:          
With the fast-paced changes coming out of DC, this session will be reserved for the most pressing issue emerging in late summer or early fall.

12:15-1:45pmSession 3—Working Lunch   
Health Leaders Lunch Panel: This panel of leaders in the health care community will discuss current policy challenges and opportunities. Panelists will cover the rapid pace of change coming from Washington, DC, and what it means for the health care ecosystem.

Session 4A—Government Health Care Priorities:          
Hear from federal government staff on top priorities for Medicare, Medicaid, the commercial market, 340B, and more. With the many significant policy changes in 2025, it has never been more important to stay ahead of the curve. 

Session 4B—Medicare Redesign:          
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 included major changes to Medicare Part D. On this panel, patient advocacy experts will discuss how implementation of the Part D redesign is affecting patients. Panelists will cover the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation, the 2025 launch of the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan, and more. 

2:45-3:15pmNetworking Break
3:15-4pm

Session 5A—340B:          
The 340B Drug Discount Program is a growing focus for policymakers. The niche program—started in 1992 to support non-profit hospitals—has turned into a significant driver of hospital revenue. This panel will discuss proposals from state and federal policymakers to reform or protect 340B. 

Session 5B—Drug Patent Reform:          
As policymakers balance incentivizing pharmaceutical innovation, attention on Capitol Hill has turned towards reforming drug patent laws, with a bill to reform patent litigation unanimously passing the Senate in 2024. The panel will discuss the issues that Congress and the administration have raised, including “patent thickets” and “pay-for-delay” arrangements.
