AMCP supports a coalition of over 20 health care stakeholders committed to aligning 42 CFR Part 2 (Part 2) with HIPAA to allow appropriate access to patient information that is essential for providing whole-person care.
On behalf of the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP), I wanted to take this opportunity to express our strong support for the Creating and Restoring Equal Access to Equivalent Samples (CREATES) Act (H.R. 2212), bipartisan legislation to increase competition and patient access to safe and affordable generic and biosimilar medicines.
