Medication Therapy Management Program

The goals of the program are to improve the quality of care and prescribing practices based on best-practice guidelines, improve patient adherence to medication plans, reduce clinical risk, and lower prescribed drug costs and the rate of inappropriate spending for certain Medicaid prescription drugs.

Evaluation

The Agency has contracted with the Florida State University to conduct an independent evaluation of the Medication Therapy Management (MTM) program authorized under Florida’s section 1115 MEDS-AD Research and Demonstration Waiver approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
