Abstract

It has been one year--since January 1, 2013--that comprehensive medication review has been recognized as a medication therapy management (MTM) service that must be offered annually by Medicare Part D prescription drug plans to "qualified beneficiaries." This requirement solidifies the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' commitment to ensure all beneficiaries, including those in long-term care facilities, receive quality MTM services. Consultant pharmacists, who have long provided federally mandated medication regimen review services, may have their first opportunity to be paid for the additional services that they provide to individual Medicare beneficiaries residing in those facilities.
