Friends come and go, but managed care pharmacy policy is forever. This session explores state legislative and regulatory policies affecting managed care pharmacists. State legislatures across the country have considered bills touching on prescription drug pricing and pharmacy benefit design. The past several months have also brought important updates on the implementation of PBM regulations, including attempts to extend oversight of employer-sponsored health insurance plans. Join your trusty AMCP government affairs team as we examine recent state-level actions targeting pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) business practices, artificial intelligence in health care, the 340B drug discount program, and so much more.

Describe the major trends in proposed state managed care policy.
Discuss the impact of PBM reform policies and artificial intelligence regulations on benefit design.
Identify states that have enacted laws to protect 340B covered entities.
