title: Comprehensive medication review--coming soon to a nursing home near you!
abstract: There remain numerous unanswered questions pertaining to the roll-out and implementation of the CMR requirement in LTC. Some Part D plans have established relationships with MTM providers and are prepared to launch the expanded MTM program in January while others may be slow to apply the standard in a nursing home population. How Part D plans define “cognitive impairment” and the alternate individual acceptable to participate on behalf of the beneficiary in the CMR may vary widely. Quarterly TMRs may be added on to monthly DRR/MRR reviews or may replace monthly reviews at least 4 times during the calendar year.
