Medication Therapy Management (MTM) Program

The Medication Therapy Management (MTM) Program is a free service for ConnectiCare Medicare plan members with a Part D prescription drug coverage who have certain health conditions and who take certain prescription medications covered by Medicare Part D. The MTM Program helps you and your doctor make sure that your medications are working to improve your health. It can also help prevent any issues with your medications.

If you qualify for the MTM Program, a pharmacist can review your prescription and over-the-counter medications and medical conditions. During the review, the pharmacist will talk to you about:

Better understanding your medications, how to take them, and any side effects or reactions
Possible ways to save money on your medications
Any questions or concerns you have
