When you need help ensuring your medications are working together correctly, our specialized pharmacists are here to help.

What is medication therapy management?

Medication therapy management works by helping you understand and manage your medicine. You’ll meet with a clinical pharmacist who will review all the medicines you’re taking to make sure they’re working as effectively as possible.

Who qualifies for medication therapy management?

You’re eligible for our MTM program if you have a HealthPartners Medicare plan with prescription drug coverage. These plans include:

If you have one of these plans, you may automatically be enrolled in our MTM program. If you’re not automatically enrolled, you can still sign up for MTM.
You’ll automatically be enrolled in MTM if all of these apply:

You’ll also be automatically enrolled in MTM if we determine, or your previous plan determined, that you could be at risk for misuse of certain frequently abused prescription drugs.
  • You take eight or more medications for chronic conditions
  • You have three or more of these conditions: congestive heart failure (CHF), diabetes, end-stage renal disease (ESRD), depression and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Your expected medicine costs are greater than $5,330 in a single year

You’ll receive a letter in the mail confirming your enrollment and providing guidance on next steps. You can schedule an appointment or opt out of the program.

How much does medication therapy management cost?

If you have a HealthPartners Medicare plan with prescription drug coverage, the MTM program is available at no cost to you.

What’s the goal of a medication therapy management program?

The goal of an MTM program is to ensure your mix of medicines is safe, effective and a match for your lifestyle. This resource aims to help you understand and manage your medicine so you can receive the best care at the lowest total cost.

Does Medicare Part D cover medication therapy management?

Medication therapy management isn’t a Medicare Part D benefit. But it’s included at no cost with most HealthPartners Medicare Advantage plans. These plans include Medicare Part D coverage that’s separate from, but works alongside, your medication therapy management benefit.

To enroll in MTM, all you need is a HealthPartners Medicare plan with prescription drug coverage.
