The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) supports scientifically sound research that compares the effectiveness and value of prescription drugs, as well as research aimed at tailoring treatment options to individual patients’ needs.

AMCP supports the recognition of pharmacists as providers. When pharmacists are recognized as provider members of the health care team, patient outcomes improve, and patients report higher rates of satisfaction while overall health care costs are reduced. Recognized provider status would allow pharmacists to be reimbursed for providing health care services to patients. In a survey conducted in 2023 commissioned by Wolters Kluwer Health, 58% of Americans agreed that they are more likely to seek non-emergency medical care from a pharmacist.

AMCP supports increased access to Prescription Digital Therapeutics (PDTs). PDTs are software-based therapies that deliver clinical benefits to patients, either alone or in combination with other forms of treatment. These therapeutics require a prescription and are subject to oversight by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). To be approved by the FDA, PDTs must demonstrate both safety and efficacy.
