AB Medication  therapy  management  (MTM)  represents  the  first  major,  pharmacy-wide,  reimbursable  cognitive  pharmacy  service.  In  the  years  since  MTM  was  implemented,  it  has  gained  momentum  as  a  comprehensive  method  to  address  the  safety,  appropriateness,  and  effectiveness  of  medications.  Provision  of  MTM  services  allows  pharmacists  to  identify  omissions  in  therapy  as  well  as  address  issues  with  polypharmacy.  MTM  follows  the  steps  of  the  Pharmacists’  Patient  Care  Process:  collect  patient-specific  information,  assess  the  information  to  identify  medication-related  problems,  create  a  patient-centered  care  plan,  implement  the  care  plan,  and  follow  up  with  monitoring  and  evaluation.  While  MTM  began  as  a  Medicare-funded  service,  Medicaid  and  private  health  plans  have  also  adopted  the  concepts  of  MTM.  The  services  within  the  MTM  scope  are  now  integrated  into  mainstream  healthcare  in  a  variety  of  settings,  including  community  pharmacies,  hospitals,  health  plans,  ambulatory  care  clinics,  and  university  clinical  practices.  This  text  is  our  effort  to  provide  information  and  an  approach  to  MTM  services  that  prepares  the  pharmacist  to  practice  MTM  in  any  setting.
