There seems to be a push for non-pharmacists to provide MTM. In a recent brief from the National Conference of State Legislatures (
Medication Therapy Management: Health, Safety and Savings) they state that MTM under the MMA is to be provided by pharmacists and other qualified health care providers. Do you find that it is being done by the plans? PBMs? PDPs? or at the dispensing end by community pharmacists? Are there any case managers in health plans or other related settings providing this service? Is it being done right if not by pharmacists? Is this something that should be done by nurses? Physicians? someone else besides pharmacists? How do we as pharmacists feel about this? Should we collaborating more with members of the health-care team to provide this service to our Medicare Part D members? Who do we consider qualified besides pharmacists?
Any thoughts on this would be sincerely appreciated!
