Was wondering if anyone did MTM outside of Mirixa and Outcomes? Would you have patients pay cash and then submit to insurance for reimbursement?
MTM is not profitable unless you get a student intern or rotation student slaving away at it.
The profit is probably only there for the 3rd party. Another venue to play gotcha audit with a pharmacy. It's so sad it's come to this state of affairs. Everything is a racket.
That's the direction I was thinking. To outsource it to a clinical pharmacist who can help out.For chain store, is MTM a target pushed to only pharmacy manager, or staff pharmacist too? On one of my rotation, the pharmacy manager are the one handling the MTM, and sometimes when I have questions and ask some of the staff pharmacist, they say they don't do much (if any) MTM and not sure how to do it appropriately. Is it viable to hire just a "clinical pharmacist" to handle certain store's MTM cases, and let staff do their own daily work?

Cvs tried doing something called pharmacy advisor which was basically their Caremark MTM. It would identify diabetic patients who were not taking ACE/ARB like lisinopril or losartan and expect rph to reach out to patient and doctor to get treatment started. Also they identified patients who needed a statin.
Also cvs was the last major pharmacy around here to start offering the zostavax vaccine. They lag behind Walgreens and krogers when it comes to clinical services. Even meijers started offering the zostavax before cvs in Ohio.
Wow- which chain?
