To be enrolled in an MTM program, a customer must have what qualification?

A customer must have a combined medication cost of more than $3,919 per year to be enrolled in a Medication Therapy Management (MTM) program. This criterion is based on the principle that MTM programs are designed to assist individuals who are likely to benefit from a comprehensive review and management of their medications due to the complexity and cost associated with their therapy. Higher medication costs typically indicate that individuals may be using multiple prescriptions or have chronic conditions requiring ongoing medication, thus making them ideal candidates for MTM services, which aim to improve medication adherence, health outcomes, and reduce overall healthcare costs.

In contrast, simply taking only one medication, having no chronic health conditions, or only using over-the-counter medications does not meet the standard requirements for MTM program enrollment. These scenarios typically do not warrant the intensive service that MTM provides, as the program is most beneficial for those managing multiple medications and associated health challenges.
