The Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) required Medicare drug plans to create new Medication Therapy Management (MTM) programs, but did not set aside direct funding for this purpose. Health plans have wide latitude to define their MTM programs, including the target population and types of services covered.

Learn about plans’ varied approaches to MTM design and implementation, including private and public sector work to better quantify MTM programs’ effect on patient health outcomes and return on investment. Understand how standard setting and reporting requirements may reshape the future of MTM programs for the approaching health plan year.

Join Avalere Health and the Academy for Managed Care Pharmacy for a 90-minute interactive audio conference that will highlight:

• The current landscape of MTM programs offered by Medicare health plans, including the types of patients served and areas of therapeutic focus to date
• The emerging consensus on standards, best practices, and measuring MTM program outcomes
• CMS’ evolving reporting requirements
• The future of MTM in the 2009 plan year

• Michelle Ketcham, PharmD, MBA, Division of Clinical and Economic Performance, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
