Dear Patient Assistance Programs Professional,

Promoting PAPs

In researching with over 50 pharmaceutical and biotech companies, we understand the challenges of meeting compliance standards, navigating Medicare Part D and successfully promoting PAPs for effective outreach.

The Meeting Place

• Meet the major industry players: pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers, policy makers, non-profits, government officials, 3rd party pharmacies and communications experts.
  
• Brainstorm and strategize TOGETHER over ideas and strategies to improve the compliance, outreach & education of patient assistance programs.

How this Conference Works

This conference is unique with a blend of interactive breakouts, roundtables, and panel discussions combined with formal presentations. Experience:

Compliance Sessions

As Part D has taken hold in the industry, pharma companies designing PAPs have had to take different positions, since there are new eligibility requirements. Companies are responding to Part D with the way they structure their patient assistance programs. Hear from the policy-makers at CMS and OIG:

• Panel Discussion: Government Regulations and How They Relate to PAPs
  
• Identify How Medicare Part D Has Influenced PAP Programs
  
• Panel Discussion: Update on CMS Requirements with Database Sharing
  
• Hear from the Office of the Inspector General on Anti-Kickback Legislation

Outreach & Education

Once a Patient Assistance Program is in place, the challenge is reaching those in need and improving PAP outreach. How has pharma and biotech worked with 3rd non-profit patient assistance help centers promote their PAPs? At this conference, you will get to meet leading 3rd party help centers and learn about their experiences:

• Panel Discussion: How Can Pharma Companies Improve the Outreach & Education of their Programs?
  
• Interactive Working Group: Tap into Ways to Get the Word Out to the Public about Your PAP
  
• Case Study: Efforts by PhRMA in Promoting Patient Assistance Programs
  
• Find Out What Information PAP-Eligible People Really Understand To Improve PAP Design and Outreach

Extended Networking Time

Conferences create experiences- this conference places emphasis with one-on-one meet & greet opportunities for all attendees. We will facilitate appointments for who you want to meet on site during the afternoon networking breaks. Do not miss this opportunity to connect and network with key PAP policy and decision makers to develop strategies in improving the outreach and education of your patient assistance programs.

Sincerely,
