Blank Rome partner Merle M. DeLancey, Jr. will serve as a speaker at the American Conference Institute (“ACI”) 22nd Annual Rx Drug Pricing Boot Camp, being held March 20 through 21, 2024, at the New York City Bar Association in New York, New York.
ABOUT THE BOOT CAMP
The Rx Drug Pricing Boot Camp offers intensive training in the essentials and complexities of pricing calculations, rebates, and reporting under the Medicaid, Medicare, and PHS 340B Programs. With both federal and state law makers engaging in greater scrutiny of prescription drug pricing, industry professionals must stay up to date on the latest amendments to government payor programs as well as their impact on the private sector. A leading faculty of experienced practitioners will help attendees master core drug pricing concepts and calculations to gain a holistic view of how these government payor programs relate and often intersect with each other.
Merle’s session, “Unintended Consequences: Understanding the Fallout of the IRA on Government Payor Programs and the Private Sector,” will take place on Wednesday, March 20, from 1:45 to 2:45 p.m.
