More than 530 attendees gathered at the downtown JW Marriott in Nashville, Tennessee, on June 12-14, 2023, for the third Crossroads: An Artia Solutions Conference.

We kicked off Crossroads 2023 on Broadway at Acme Feed & Seed for our Opening Night Reception. We hosted 32 Speed Networking stakeholders, 31 speakers, 25 state pharmacy directors and staff, 8 advocacy groups, 7 sessions, and 5 panel discussions. Our agenda highlighted the patient journey, which included crucial Medicaid topics such as accelerated approval, high-cost drug therapies, AMP Cap removal, and much more.

We also held three Speed Networking sessions – the most appointments we’ve organized yet! Speed Networking is our way of making business connections as seamless as possible. Our coordinators facilitate semi-private appointments between manufacturers and pharmacy benefit managers, state Medicaid pharmacy directors, Managed Medicaid officials, and other Medicaid stakeholders.

Terry Cothran, Senior Pharmacy Director, Oklahoma Health Care Authority; and Joshua Moore, Director of Pharmacy, MO HealthNet Division; were awarded the 2023 Extra Mile Award during the Extra Mile Award Banquet on Tuesday, June 13. The Extra Mile Award is a special honor created to recognize former or current Medicaid officials and/or pharmacy benefit managers who have shown continuous effort in doing or achieving something above what is expected.

Cheers to Crossroads 2025!  Date and location TBA.
