Medicaid Drug Rebate Program

Time to get ready for IIR’s 18th Annual Summit on the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program (MDRP)! This mega-event will be held at the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile in Chicago, Illinois on September 9-11, 2013.

The MDRP typically sells out, so you should register as soon as possible. The 2013 agenda looks very strong, so I expect this year's event to be extremely popular, too.

Where else can you attend such sessions as "AMPs, NARPs, NADACs, and FULs Oh My!" or play the "GP Geek Game - Wheel of Fortune"? (Yes, these topics are really on this year's jam-packed agenda.) See more details below or visit the MDRP site.
