Thank you for connecting with Cencora at AMCP Annual 2026. Our teams met with managed care leaders, payers, and biopharma partners to discuss evolving access challenges and share insights focused on supporting informed healthcare decision‑making. 

Thought leadership in action

Spotlight session:

Eye on the Future: Exploring the Latest Payer Trends in Cell and Gene Therapies and Anti-Obesity Medications

Discussion around how U.S. payers are managing access and formulary decisions for cell and gene therapies and anti‑obesity medications. Drawing on two recent Cencora studies, we will share insights from health plans, PBMs, and IDNs on coverage trends, utilization management, evidence needs, and future expectations, providing biopharma and managed care stakeholders with practical guidance to navigate an evolving payer landscape. 

AI session:

Unlocking AI's potential in managed care: an actionable roadmap

As AI adoption accelerates, this session explored how AI is reshaping managed care pharmacy today and what to expect by 2030. We’ll review key challenges (fragmented data, formulary inefficiencies, and demand for personalized, value-based care), highlight current AI solutions, and outline what’s next —predictive analytics, automated utilization management, enhanced patient engagement, and more real-time payer decision-making — with a practical roadmap for stakeholders.

Lunch & Learn session:

Enhancing your PIE Strategy with Healthcare Decision-Maker Insights

Our Cencora | FormularyDecisions® experts hosted a strategy session unveiling the latest market research trends on PIE, real-world insights from payers on how pre-approval information is used in decision-making, and newly available platform data on engagement with pipeline features.  

Network & Learn session:

The Afternoon Shake Up: what’s changing in pipeline, policy, and digital transformation with FormularyDecisions

In this session, we explored the forces shaping formulary decision-making across three fast-moving fronts: the pharmacy pipeline including the expansion of anti-obesity medications, health policy and regulation, digital transformation, and AI-enabled workflows.
