Event Overview:
The first cycle of Medicare-negotiated maximum fair prices (MFPs) is now in effect, and manufacturers face a tight, high-stakes timeline to effectuate them correctly. Making negotiated prices available at the pharmacy counter — across manufacturer, pharmacy and Part D plan workflows — carries real operational and compliance risk, with the next cycle of prices set to take effect soon. This session outlines the essential MFP requirements, current implementation status and deadlines, and practical approaches for meeting program guidelines. Drawing on firsthand engagements with CMS and other stakeholders, it addresses the documentation requirements, operational readiness assessments and compliance verification processes manufacturers need to stay audit-ready.
