The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) thanks Congress for its dedication to combatting the opioid epidemic. The importance of H.R. 6 increases as the number of preliminary CDC reported overdose deaths rise (72,000 overdose deaths in 2017). Both pieces of legislation passed by the House and Senate will advance patient treatment and recovery initiatives, improve prevention of opioid addiction, protect communities, and increase education initiatives for patients and providers.
The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) thanks the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the opportunity to provide comments in response to “Facilitating Competition and Innovation in the Biological Products Marketplace; Public Hearing; Request for Comments” as published in the Federal Register on July 25, 2018.

AMCP supports the concept of collaborative drug therapy management (CDTM), a formal partnership between a pharmacist and a prescriber that allows the pharmacist to manage a patient’s drug therapy. CDTM, also referred to as collaborative practice, allows pharmacists to use their unique skills and abilities to complement other types of care provided by collaborating professionals to optimize patient outcomes.
