I just wanted to remind everyone to register for Monday's IARP webinar on drug pricing. I am sponsoring the speaker, Dr. Alex Evans, to help life care planners understand the drug pricing process and determine valid, reliable drug prices to use in a life care plan. Come prepared with questions, as Dr. Evans is reserving time at the end to address these. Hope to see you all at the webinar on Monday!
