Partnership Forum: In June 2013, AMCP convened a group of experts to explore how managed care pharmacy departments can work with their medication therapy management (MTM) and other pharmacists to collaborate in redesigning the Medication Reconciliation (MedRec) process for transitions of care.
On May 23, 2013, CMS finalized a rule that will allow for certain MTM activities and fraud reduction activities to count toward Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage medical loss ratio (MLR).
This final rule implements new medical loss ratio (MLR) requirements for the Medicare Advantage Program and the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit Program established under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
