Rx Drug Benefit & Medication Therapy Management
A Resource for Health Professionals, Faculty and Patients

Resources for Health Professionals and Faculty

Consumer Resources

The Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) of 2003 is landmark legislation creating a focused emphasis on cost-effective means to manage medication therapy by seniors.

Because pharmacists are the most accessible and trusted health professionals in community settings, they have a unique opportunity to help senior patients navigate the new prescription drug benefit to make the best choice for their own coverage situation.

Pharmacists also have the training to offer medication therapy management programs to those seniors qualifying for such services under the MMA. Indeed, by engaging in these services for seniors with co-morbidities and high drug therapy costs, pharmacists will be in even a better position to expand such counseling to other patients and consumers.

This web site is targeted to health professionals who are looking for a library of important resources, including web links, frequently asked questions (FAQs), a cumulative bibliography on medication therapy management, and related articles and information.
