Medication Therapy Management Program
UnitedHealthcare's Medication Therapy Management (MTM) program was developed by a team of pharmacists and doctors. This program helps eligible members use their coverage, understand their medications, and how to use those medications. It can also help protect members from the possible risks of drug side effects and potentially harmful drug combinations.

What You Need to Do
Within 60 days of becoming eligible, you'll receive an offer by mail to complete a Comprehensive Medication Review (CMR). You may also receive this offer by phone.
You can complete the CMR by phone or in person with a qualified health care provider. It takes about 30 minutes. A pharmacist, or qualified CMR provider, will review your medication history, including prescription and over-the-counter medications, and look for any issues.
What's Next
Within 14 days of the CMR, you'll receive a Medication Action Plan. It summarizes any clinical concerns and a Personal Medication List of your medication history. This can be helpful when meeting with your doctor or pharmacist. In addition, the results may be sent to your doctor.
You can also download a blank Personal Medication List (PDF) (58.2 KB) for your own personal use.
In addition to the CMR, Targeted Medication Reviews are done at least quarterly. This is done to find any drug-drug interactions or other medication concerns. Those reviews will be sent to your doctor.
The Medication Therapy Management program isn't a plan benefit. For more information on UnitedHealthcare's Medication Therapy Management program, please call the phone number on the back of your plan member ID card.
