A. Background
Medicare Part D plans already provide
MTM/clinical pharmacy services to
Medicare beneficiaries at high risk of
medication-related problems. The
design of the DoD Pilot Program will
consider best commercial practices in
providing MTM services.
The value of including clinical
pharmacists on the PCMH care team is
well documented in the literature as
delivering improved outcomes, better
medication adherence, and supports the
tenets of healthcare reform including
enhanced access, improved quality,
reduced cost, and enhanced patient
safety.
Clinical pharmacists play a critical
role in the success of care provided
through the PCMH model. Utilizing
clinical pharmacists has clearly shown
the relationship between pharmacist
involvement and positive patient
outcomes especially in the optimization
of medication therapy, medication
adherence, and the reduction in
polypharmacy users.
B. Description of the Pilot Program
Services will be offered by
pharmacists at three different location
types: (1) MTFs with a pharmacist
embedded supporting a PCMH, (2) MTF
pharmacies for beneficiaries who
receive primary care services from
providers outside an MTF but bring
their prescriptions to the MTF
pharmacy, and (3) pharmacies other
than an MTF. MTM involves a
pharmacist in the review of prescription
history where the pharmacist works
with the patient and their primary care
provider to develop action plans for any
medication-related problems. The
overall goal of MTM is to open a
dialogue with beneficiaries and include
them in medication-related decisionmaking to optimize drug therapy,
reduce medication-related problems,
improve adherence to therapy, and
improve health outcomes. As stated in
Section 726, NDAA FY15, the 2-year
pilot program’s target population will be
beneficiaries who have more than one
chronic medical condition and are
taking more than one medication.
This pilot program will focus
specifically on beneficiaries diagnosed
with at least three chronic medical
conditions and taking multiple
medications. The following chronic
medical conditions will be considered
for this pilot: Alzheimer’s disease,
Chronic Heart Failure, Diabetes,
Dyslipidemia, End-Stage Renal Disease,
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
Hypertension, Respiratory Disease
(Asthma, Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease [COPD]),
Rheumatoid Arthritis, Post-Traumatic
Stress Syndrome, Depression, and
Polypharmacy. This is consistent with
the intent of Section 726, NDAA FY
2015 of more than one chronic medical
condition and taking more than one
medication. Each site within the three
location types will target an enrollment
of 400 beneficiaries over at least 12
months, but not to exceed 24 months,
providing up to 6 hours of contact per
beneficiary per year.
Selection for Location Type 1 will be
from the existing PCMH empaneled
population. MTM services will be
provided by a pharmacist embedded in
the PCMH. The following facilities will
be included in the pilot program for
Location Type 1: Fort Campbell, Naval
Station Mayport, and Hill Air Force
Base.
Location Type 2 will include
beneficiaries who use MTF pharmacies
but receive medical care from providers
in the purchased care sector.
Beneficiaries will be notified of their
eligibility to participate in the Pilot
Program, and may choose to accept or
decline participation. Beneficiaries
participating in the Pilot Program at this
location type generally do not receive
primary care services from health care
providers at MTFs. The following
facilities will be included in the pilot
program for Location Type 2: Fort
Campbell, Marine Corps Base Camp
Pendleton, and Patrick Air Force Base.
Location Type 3 will provide MTM
services for beneficiaries receiving
medical and pharmaceutical care
outside of an MTF. Beneficiaries will be
notified of their eligibility to participate
in the Pilot Program, and may choose to
accept or decline participation. The
following areas will be included in the
pilot program for Location Type 3:
Denver, Colorado, Orlando, Florida, and
Houston, Texas.
MTM services will be provided by a
pharmacist to beneficiaries empaneled
in the pilot program. Appointments will
be conducted face to face, over the
telephone, and/or by video
conferencing. MTM services will
include a Comprehensive Medication
Review (CMR) consisting of an
assessment of the beneficiary’s
medication regimen, a comprehensive
record of medications, a collaborative
care agreement between the beneficiary
and the pharmacist, communication
with the beneficiary’s healthcare
providers, and documentation with
follow up. CMR is conducted at the
initial visit and annually thereafter.
Interim Targeted Medication Reviews

are offered quarterly to monitor
unresolved issues requiring attention
and to determine if new drug therapy
problems have arisen. The pharmacist,
in consultation with the beneficiary,
reviews pertinent medical and
prescription history and develops action
plans to address medication-related
problems.
C. Evaluation
The effect of MTM services on
beneficiary use and outcomes of
prescription medications and the cost of
health care will be evaluated using
established DoD metrics of Per Member
Per Month (PMPM) and Pharmacy
PMPM. Additional measures may
include a review of changes in
utilization of the emergency
department, hospitalization rates and
readmission rates. Beneficiary use and
outcomes of prescription medications
will assess medication adherence and
disease related outcomes measures,
when available.
A report to Congress is required not
later than 30 months after the start of
the Pilot.
