Medication Therapy Management : Services

A Comprehensive Medication Review (CMR) is a consultation with a pharmacist or other qualified healthcare provider which assesses:

• Why each medication is prescribed and whether any medications are potentially unnecessary
• If each medication is effective
• If each medication could be causing side effects, worsening other health conditions, or interacting with other medications
• If a medication regimen can be made more affordable or simplified (such as fewer pills or a more convenient dosing schedule)
• If medications are being taken appropriately to get the most benefit from them

The CMR is conducted over the phone with the member, and generally takes approximately 30 minutes. MTM members are not required to participate in a CMR, and may still remain in the MTM program if they choose not to participate in this service.

Launched in March 2010, the medication therapy management (MTM) call center at the University of Florida College of Pharmacy (UF COP) connects with 'Ohana Medicare Part D members throughout the United States who meet eligibility requirements of MTM services. Thousands of 'Ohana members benefit from this call center faculty, staff pharmacists and student pharmacists providing MTM services.
