CarePlus MTM Program Design:
The CarePlus MTM will notify the beneficiary of the Comprehensive Medication Review (CMR) opportunity through MTM messaging in the Smart SummaryRx statements once determined eligible for the MTM program. The phone number to the Member Services call center will be provided so the member can schedule their CMR.
MTM consultations will allow a beneficiary to speak with a clinical advisor (Pharmacist, Registered Nurse) about their CMR and / or any identified drug related problems. The clinical advisor will then work through the targeted interventions by consulting with beneficiaries and serving as their advocates in contacting prescribers, as necessary, to resolve drug therapy problems.
CarePlus will perform targeted medication reviews at least quarterly to assess medication use and determine if a follow up intervention is warranted for the beneficiary and / or prescriber. CarePlus will reach out to the beneficiary and / or prescriber via one of the following ways: Telephonic, Face to face, Mail or Fax.
