AMCP 2024: Behind the research with Jacob LaRue and Timothy O’Shea

It’s day one of the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP)’s Annual Meeting 2024 in New Orleans, and the energy inside the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center is high as leaders from across the health care space — including Prime Therapeutics/MagellanRx Management (Prime/MRx) — tackle some of the most pressing issues facing the industry.

A key factor driving health care spend today is high-cost specialty drugs, which are often used to treat severe diseases and conditions. That was the focus of the day-one session, “You Can Round That! Establishing and Managing Mandatory Drug Wastage Programs,” featuring Jacob LaRue, assistant vice president of specialty clinical solutions at Prime/MRx, and Timothy O’Shea, manager of clinical pharmacy at Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey.

We caught up with Jacob and Timothy earlier today to hear how Prime/MRx is working alongside providers, like Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, to manage drug waste and rein in spend for specialty drugs without therapeutic impact to patients.
