AmeriHealth is working with FutureScripts^® and FutureScripts^® Secure to now offer a Medication Therapy Management (MTM) program to members enrolled in a commercial or Medicare Advantage plan.

Program details

MTM includes services that seek to facilitate communication between health care professionals and members to help improve health outcomes. Pharmacists who are part of the MTM program review medications to identify potential adverse interactions, while also educating members on medication side effects and interactions. They can even identify ways to save money on out-of-pocket medication costs.

AmeriHealth members who qualify, based on their disease state and number of medications they are taking, will be automatically enrolled in the MTM program and will receive the following:

• Outreach call. Participants in the program will receive an outreach phone call from a pharmacist for a brief medication consultation, to be arranged around members? schedules. There is no limit to how much time members can spend talking with the pharmacist during the consultation. During the call, the pharmacist will review the medications members are taking to:
• address goals for medication therapy;
• raise awareness of cost-effective alternatives, such as generics;
• answer any questions members may have about their medication.
• Medication review package. After the consultation, the pharmacist will provide members with a medication review package. This package contains information about their personal medication therapy, which can be brought to their future doctor visits for discussion.
• Continuous review. Members will have their AmeriHealth prescription claims data continuously reviewed and analyzed to determine if there are any areas for therapeutic intervention. Their doctor will receive a fax containing potential intervention opportunities.

If you have any questions regarding the MTM program, please contact the FutureScripts MTM Department at 1-855-380-1228.
