Through the interactive presentation, Nayda presented an overview of potential impacts of changes in public policy within the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program (MDPR), and differences in funding present in Puerto Rico’s healthcare system in comparison to other states. She also presented a timeline of the program’s implementation process as carried out in the U.S. and its territories, as well as examples of the economic impact on Puerto Rico’s Administration of Health Insurances (ASES) after entering the program.
