If you have more than one long-term health condition, take many medications every day, and have an expensive drug therapy regimen, you might feel like you could use some extra help managing your medications.

UPMC Health Plan’s Medication Therapy Management (MTM) program is available at no cost to you. The program is administered by a team of health care professionals that includes pharmacists, registered nurses, and social workers.

If you meet the criteria below, you are automatically enrolled in the program. You don’t have to do anything. If you do not want to participate in this program, please call 1-844-870-2224 Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. TTY users should call 711. But the program is very helpful. It includes:

• Monthly medication reviews to look for problems, such as drug interactions, duplications in drug therapy, and gaps in care (care you should have gotten, but did not). Letters and phone calls to prescribers to inform them of potential drug-related issues.
• You may receive a letter or a brief 5-10 minute phone call from a health care professional following up about important medication(s) to ensure you are not experiencing any problems or concerns.
• An annual Comprehensive Medication Review (CMR). This is approximately a 30 minute phone call between you and a pharmacist. The pharmacist will talk to you about your medications and listen to any concerns you have about them. After the CMR, you will receive a medication action plan and personal medication list in the mail. These materials are sent out within a week of the CMR review.
