Medication Therapy Management: Benefits and Cost Savings

Medication Therapy Management, or MTM, is a term used to describe health care services that pharmacists use to provide better care to patients—and its use is growing in pharmacies around the country.

Pharmacists use a group of services aimed at managing medications to work with a patient and ensure the best possible health outcomes. The type of care provided through MTM is one-on-one care that includes the pharmacist checking in regularly with the patient to:

• verify the patient is following health and wellness guidelines
• check into any related problems such as adverse reactions to medications
