Join FMCP's Webinar to Learn How the Newest Version of the AMCP Format Will Impact Your Business!!
FMCP Webinar on Using the AMCP Format Version 3.0
On October 7, 2009 the AMCP Board of Directors approved Version 3.0 of the AMCP Format for Formulary Submissions. Now in its 10th year, the Format has become the industry standard by which managed care organizations request information to evaluate new and existing pharmaceuticals in real-world settings. Like Version 2.1 of the AMCP Format, which was approved by the AMCP Board of Directors and released in April 2005, Version 3.0 is part of an ongoing effort to issue contemporary evidentiary standards and to address user comments and concerns. Since the release of Version 2.1 FMCP staff has collected numerous comments from managed health care systems, PBMs and the pharmaceutical industry. These comments were incorporated into the guidelines and then vetted by the FMCP Format Executive Committee and other experts in formulary management.
During this session, which was recorded on December 1, 2009, faculty will discuss key changes in Version 3.0, implications of these changes for health systems and the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, and future training and promotion of the tool.
Registration fees serve to advance the mission of FMCP: to conduct research, education and philanthropic endeavors that help people receive the medications they need through their pharmacy benefit.
