Thank You For Attending The 5^th Annual Government Programs Summit

This past March, collaboration was a key word, as attendees learned how companies are breaking down interdepartmental silos to ensure government pricing and reimbursement is as accurate as possible, including strategies to:

• Involve the different departments, including commercial and accounting, in appropriate calculations and rebating
• Achieve government pricing system harmonization following a large pharmaceutical merger
• Create synergy between government pricing and government affairs to communicate the operational impact of new legislation

Attendees heard updates and integral information on key government programs:

• At the full day 340B University, attendees heard about Program Integrity and how both the Office of Pharmacy Affairs and pharmaceutical manufacturers are moving forward with covered entity audits
• In the TRICARE intensive, the panel discussed the impact of the Court's ruling on the Retail Refund Program
• During the VA Program concentration, VA OIG, industry and legal experts discussed new contract negotiation issues, what is done before a contract is awarded and how that affects the post award administration
