The goal of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is to reduce pricing for patients and improve access to needed medicines. However, whether this outcome will be achieved and the broader impact this will have on the industry is still unknown. This session will examine how the changes necessitated by the IRA may be implemented across the value chain, as well as the anticipated impacts for pharma companies, payers, pharmacies, providers and patients. Panelists will also broaden the affordability discussion beyond individual drugs, exploring the overall cost of a patient's care and the influence of social determinants of health on outcomes.
