Medication Therapy Management

A Medication Therapy Management (MTM) program is a service we offer at no cost. This program is not a benefit. The program is designed to ensure covered Part D drugs prescribed are appropriate to improve your medication use. The program will reduce the risk of adverse events like drug interactions.

If you qualify for this program, we will invite you to participate. You may decide not to participate, but it is recommended you take full advantage of this covered service.

What Does MTM Provide?

• Annual Comprehensive Medication Review (CMR)
  This review is a one-on-one consultation with a CareSource pharmacist. During the review, your entire medication profile is reviewed to ensure appropriate therapy. Goals of the medication therapy and any problems are confidentially discussed. After the review, you will receive a completed Personal Medication List (coming soon) and Medication Action Plan (coming soon) by mail.
• Quarterly targeted medication reviews
• Follow-up interventions as necessary

How Does the Program Work?

• First, you will qualify for the program.
• Then, you will meet with an MTM pharmacist. Our Member Services department can help you find a pharmacy close to you.
• Your MTM pharmacist will go over your medicines with you at your first visit. This is called a Comprehensive Medication Review (CMR). This will take approximately 45 minutes to one hour to complete.
• Your MTM pharmacist will also give you a Standardized Takeaway Form that includes information about your Medication Action Plan (coming soon).
• The Standardized Takeaway Form includes a Personal Medication List (coming soon). This lists all of your medicines and how you should take them.
• Your MTM pharmacist may find problems with your medicines. For example, you might be taking more than one drug that does the same thing. Or you might not be taking enough of one medicine, or too much of another medicine.
• Your pharmacist will talk with you and your doctor to fix any problems that come up during the CMR.
