Medication Therapy Management Services (MTM)
- This service takes about 30 minutes to complete
- MTM may be covered by insurance
- Typically done once per year
- Bring what drugs you currently take (bottles of prescriptions, over the counter drugs and supplements) and meet with a pharmacist
- The pharmacist goes through how each drug is taken and why, and discusses any issues or side effects to manage or resolve them
- Examples include (but are not limited to): “medication is too big to swallow”, “I wake up in the middle of the night to urinate”, “I do not feel like this drug is working”, “How can I tell if this is working”, “I feel tired all the time since taking this”
- If anything needs to be changed, the pharmacist can call your physician to see about adding a drug, changing a drug or making recommendations on your behalf
- The pharmacist will compile this list and give you a copy for yourself to use if needed at other healthcare facilities
