During the Prescription Drug Affordability Board (PDAB) meeting on March 11, Board members identified a number of topic areas where additional learning and conversations could be helpful to inform the Board's upcoming planned rulemaking activities. As a result, the Division of Insurance (DOI) staff have coordinated a five-part learning series, consisting of virtual webinars to provide education and more information. Learning series will be recorded and posted on the PDAB website. Stakeholders are encouraged to attend these meetings.
