PHILADELPHIA, May 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- IntegriChain, delivering Life Sciences' only comprehensive data and business process platform for market access, today announced that two senior Advisory experts will present at Informa's upcoming Medicaid & GP Congress. Jeff Baab, Vice President, and Rupal Patel, Senior Director, are both experts in the latest regulatory landscape affecting Contracts & Pricing teams, advising Life Sciences manufacturers of all sizes and complexity on the impacts of current and pending regulations. IntegriChain is a sponsor of the virtual conference, which runs June 8-11, 2021.

"For Life Sciences manufacturers, the regulatory landscape is muddled with numerous new rules and pending regulations that affect both their government and commercial channels as well as short- and long-term planning," said Baab. "At IntegriChain, it's our job to interpret current and pending regulatory changes -- and their impact on Contracts & Pricing teams, processes, and compliance requirements -- for hundreds of manufacturers. We look forward to these sessions to provide clarity and focus for attendees."

IntegriChain's sessions during Medicaid & GP Congress are as follows.

Current Final Rule Updates and Review

Late last year, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized regulatory changes to modernize Medicaid prescription drug purchasing and propel payment innovation by providing states, private payers, and manufacturers more flexibility to enter into value-based purchasing  arrangements for prescription drugs. Patel will be joined in this session by Kristie Gurley, an Associate at Covington & Burling LLP, and together they will review key aspects of the Final Rule, potential changes to the Final Rule, and the impact on manufacturers, including:

• Line Extension Ruling 
• PBM Accumulators
• Value-Based Pricing Regulations

Baab will moderate an interactive discussion featuring a panel of experienced attorneys providing insight into the most pressing issues.
