Medication Therapy Management (MTM) Clinic

Frequently Asked Questions - http://www.d.umn.edu/mtm/faq.doc

Medication Therapy Management (MTM) is a new service offered at no cost to eligible UPlan participants. MTM allows enrollees to become more active in medication therapy decisions and can result in improved health and savings on medication copays.

MTM seeks to reduce medication therapy problems by providing an individualized patient care plan. The more medications one takes, the higher the chances of having medication therapy problems. MTM can help reduce that risk.

How does it work?

A specially trained pharmacist will work with you and your physician to complete an initial health assessment and create a personalized medication record. Next, a medication action plan will be developed to ensure that the medications are necessary, safe, effective, and convenient. Regular follow-up visits ensure you continue to receive the most effective and cost-efficient medications available.

Who are eligible to participate?

• UPlan participants, (active employees, dependents, early retirees, or disabled participants) of the University of Minnesota Duluth; AND
• Must be currently using four or more prescription medications and have at least two chronic health conditions; OR
• Have a referral from your primary care provider
