Medication Therapy Management (MTM) is a Medicare designed program that helps you make sure that your medications are working to better manage your health and health care expenses. 

The goals of the program are to educate members about:

• The importance of taking medications correctly;
• Identifying potentially harmful medications or combinations of medications; and
• Cost effective alternative medications.

What services does the MTM program provide?

• Comprehensive Medication Review (CMR) – A CMR is a review of your medications to identify medication-related problems. The CMR also includes a one-on-one consultation between members and a pharmacist. You will then receive a personal medication list, a summary of the review, and recommendations for you to share with your physician or healthcare practitioner. A blank personal medication list is available for review by clicking here.
• Targeted Medication Review (TMR) – A TMR is a quarterly review of your prescribed medications and a letter to your prescriber(s) identifying specific medication-related problems with suggestions about drugs that may be safer, or work better than your current drugs. Your prescribing doctor or healthcare practitioner will decide whether to consider the suggestions. Your prescription drugs will not change unless you and your doctor or healthcare practitioner decide to change them.
