Benzer Pharmacy unveils MTM offering

1/8/2018

It has been announced by Benzer Pharmacy, that the Tampa- Fla.-based chain will be addressing the demand for clinical solutions to supervise overprescribing patients. The company will be tackling this issue by providing medication therapy management, or MTM, to its customers.


“Medication therapy management is a patient-centric approach to bridge the gap between pharmacists and patients. By providing increased access to pharmacists, patients are able to take on a more active role in their wellness journey,” Alpesh Patel, president of Benzer Pharmacy, said.


The services will include pharmacotherapy consultation, progress check-ins, anticoagulation management, health and wellness programs, immunizations and medication therapy reviews, among others.


“Medication therapy management is a program that helps ensure the patient is adherent with their medications,” Jazz Harvey, CPhT at Benzer Pharmacy, said. “At Benzer Pharmacy an MTM Specialist works alongside pharmacists to ensure the systematic process of collecting patient-specific information, assessing medication therapies to identify medication-related problems, developing a prioritized list of medication-related problems, and creating a plan to resolve them.”


Benzer Pharmacy also will offer comprehensive medication review, or CMR, services to those enrolled in the MTM program. CMR is a systematic process of collecting patient-specific information, assessing medication therapies to identify medication-related problems, developing a prioritized list of medication-related problems, and creating a plan to resolve them with the patient, caregiver and/or prescriber, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.


Those enrolled in the MTM program will have the option to refuse or decline any individual services or disenroll from the service with the company’s CMR offering.
