SUMMARY:"The Inflation Reduction Act: What Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Means for Pharmacy"
DESCRIPTION:HealthTrust presents…“The Inflation Reduction Act: What Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Means for Pharmacy” \nThe Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) introduced the first-ever authority for CMS to negotiate drug prices\, creating significant changes to Medicare reimbursement and pharmacy operations. However\, many pharmacists and pharmacy technicians have limited familiarity with negotiation eligibility criteria\, timelines and downstream impacts on reimbursement\, 340B considerations and manufacturer pricing strategies. As IRA implementation is ongoing\, variability and uncertainty remain across practice settings. In this session\, the presenter will provide an overview of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and its implications\nfor drug pricing\, Medicare reimbursement and pharmacy operations. The CMS drug price negotiation program will be reviewed\, including eligibility criteria\, timelines and distinctions across small-molecule drugs\, biologics and biosimilars as well as an examination of inflation-based rebates\, Part B and Part D reimbursement changes and potential 340B considerations. Early responses from pharmaceutical manufacturers\, payors and health systems will also be discussed highlighting anticipated operational and pricing impacts as the program continues to evolve. \nLearning Objectives for Pharmacists & Healthcare Executives  | At the end of this session\, participants should be able to: \n\nRecognize the key (Inflation Reduction Act) IRA drug pricing provisions\, including negotiation eligibility and timelines.\nRecall how IRA policies affect Medicare reimbursement and pharmacy operations.\nIdentify expected impacts of IRA implementation on pharmaceutical manufacturers\, payors and health systems.\n\nLearning Objectives for Pharmacy Techs  | At the end of this session\, participants should be able to: \n\nRecall how the (Inflation Reduction Act) IRA drug pricing provisions will impact a patients’ access to prescription medications.\nRecognize how IRA policies affect Medicare reimbursement and the impact this has on patient out of pocket expenses\nIdentify expected impacts of IRA implementation to the patient population.\n\nPresenter: \n \nBenton Zielinski\, PharmD  |  PGY2 Corporate Pharmacy Administration & Leadership Resident  |  HealthTrust/University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center \nTarget Audience:  Pharmacists\, Pharmacy Techs\, Nurses & Healthcare Executives \nCE Credit: Approved for Nurses & Healthcare Executives; pending for Pharmacy \nThis program is pending approval for CPEs by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE).
