Medication Therapy Management (MTM)

Our MTM pharmacists talk to members over the phone to make sure their medications are right for their health conditions.  This conversation with the pharmacist helps identify, prevent, and resolve medication-related problems. 

This helpful program is voluntary and available to eligible members for free.  If you meet the eligibility criteria, we will reach out to you by mail and/or by phone with more information on the program.

MTM consists of two types of medication reviews:

  • A detailed one-on-one review between the MTM pharmacist, and the patient or caregiver. The conversation usually lasts about 15 to 20 minutes. If we identify issues, the pharmacist will work with your doctor to help resolve the issue. After this review the pharmacist will mail you a list of your medications and a to-do list based on your review.
  • We will also review your medications in the background using claims data to look for specific common problems. If problems are identified, the pharmacist may reach out to you for a brief conversation or may follow-up directly with your doctor.
