Description
Specialty Drugs (drugs defined by Medicare as costing $600 or more) represent a significant portion of a health plan's prescription drug spend. Unfortunately, Specialty Drugs pose unique legal and administrative challenges that handicap a plan sponsor's ability to manage the costs of such drugs. Join us during this webinar where we will identify those unique legal and administrative challenges and then discuss ways to try and navigate the challenges to ultimately reduce the health plan's costs.
This will be an interactive session that will afford you the opportunity to ask your own questions.
Registration
Speaker: Ashley Gillihan, Esq., Alston & Bird, LLP.
