While reading several online articles this week, we came across one posted on the Center for Medicines and Healthy Aging that we felt was appropriate to share. In the article, titled “How to Save Money on Prescription Drugs,” 14 ways to save are highlighted, including using generics, therapeutic interchange, patient assistance programs, and avoiding the doughnut hole to name a few. There last bit of advice (listed in quotes below) is their most valuable:

“Talk to a consultant pharmacist. Older adults who take multiple prescription medicines may benefit from talking to a consultant pharmacist. This is a pharmacist with training or experience in helping physicians and older adults manage drug therapy. The cost of this service is ly to be offset by savings in prescription drug costs, or by improvements such as reduced drug side effects.”

We never steer patients in any direction some MTM programs are set up to do.
