What is the Medication Therapy Management (MTM) program?
The Medication Therapy Management (MTM) program is a free service offered to eligible Medicare Part D members. The program is designed to help members with complex health needs get the most benefit from their medications.
If you qualify, a licensed pharmacist will:
- Review all your prescriptions and over-the-counter medications
- Talk with you about any side effects, drug interactions, or concerns
- Help you better understand how, when, and why to take your medications
- Answer any questions you may have
What will you receive?
If you’re eligible for MTM services, you will be contacted to schedule a Comprehensive Medication Review (CMR) by phone. During this review, a pharmacist will go over your medications and help you create a plan to manage them safely and effectively.
After your review, you will receive:
- A personal Medication List with the names of all your medications, how much you take, when you take them, and why you take them
- A Medication Action Plan with steps you can take to help you get the best results from your medication
- Educational information, including how to safely dispose of prescription drugs that are controlled substances
You may also receive Target Medication Reviews (TMRs) throughout the year. These reviews check for any new medication-related issues and help make sure your medications continue to be safe and effective. You may be contacted by phone or mail if any concerns are found.

You must meet all three of the following to be eligible for MTM:
