What is the Medication Therapy Management Program (MTM)?

Take advantage of a 1-on-1 review of your medications with a pharmacist or other healthcare provider.

Medication Therapy Management (MTM), while not part of a prescription drug benefit, is a Medicare-designed program offered by Humana.

We want to help you get the best results from all of the medications you’re taking. Talking to a trained healthcare provider can help you make sure your medications are working for you, identify potential lower-cost options and answer any questions or concerns you may have about your medications. 

How does the MTM program work?

If you're like many of Humana's Medicare members, you're taking multiple medicines prescribed by more than 1 healthcare provider. You could also be taking medicines that, when combined, may:

  • Reduce the effectiveness of your medicines
  • Cause severe side effects
  • Cost you more money per month

As part of your Medicare Part D coverage with Humana, you can set up a 1-on-1 review of your medications with a pharmacist or other trained healthcare provider. This review is called a Comprehensive Medication Review (CMR) and is offered at no extra cost to you. Once enrolled in the MTM program, you or your prescriber may be contacted about a Targeted Medication Review (TMR) if an issue is identified with your medications that requires attention. If the MTM provider finds an issue during a CMR or a TMR that requires your prescriber’s attention, the prescriber may receive a phone call or fax from the MTM provider. 

What can I expect when I complete a CMR?

A trained pharmacist or healthcare provider will review your current medication program to:

  • Go over the medications you are currently taking
  • Make sure your medications are safe for you
  • Answer any questions you may have about your medications
  • Discuss possible lower-cost alternatives for your medications
  • Discuss any concerns you have about your medications
  • Work with you on ways to keep track of your medications
  • Send you a summary of your consultation that includes a Personal Medication List, which is a list of all of the medications you’re taking, and a To-Do list, which includes things that you talked about with the MTM provider

Each consultation takes about 15 minutes to complete but can range from about 10–30 minutes.
