Nearly 4.3 million Americans visited an ambulatory care setting in 2001 for adverse drug events, and over 40 percent of the severe cases were preventable [1]. Good news, you don’t have to navigate your medications alone, even if you rely on Medicaid. Looking for medication management therapy that accepts Medicaid? Metro Rehab makes it simple for you to get one-on-one pharmacist care, reduce risks, and improve your health—all covered under your plan.
Key idea: Medication management therapy (MTM) helps you and your care team optimize your prescriptions, prevent harmful interactions, and stay on track with treatment—without out-of-pocket costs if you qualify for Medicaid.
Understand medication management
Medication management therapy, or MTM, is a collaborative service where a pharmacist reviews your full prescription profile. You’ll get:
- A comprehensive medication history review
- A personal medication list (PML) you can share with providers
- A medication action plan (MAP) outlining steps to improve therapy
- Follow-up consultations to adjust treatments
A 2023 survey found that MTM participants experienced 21 percent fewer hospital admissions, suggesting these services can make a real difference [2]. MTM goes beyond simply filling pills—your pharmacist becomes a partner in your care.
Core MTM services
MTM typically includes:
- Medication therapy review (MTR) – pharmacist checks for interactions
- Personal medication list (PML) – clear snapshot of all drugs
- Medication action plan (MAP) – actionable steps you agree on
- Follow-up support – phone or in-person check-ins
These services can occur independently of where you pick up your prescriptions, giving you flexibility to work with Metro Rehab’s MTM team no matter your pharmacy.
Check Medicaid coverage
Most state Medicaid programs cover MTM services at no cost when you meet specific criteria. Common eligibility factors include:
- Having two or more chronic conditions (such as diabetes, hypertension)
- Taking multiple Part D drugs (usually three or more)
- Annual drug costs over a set threshold
For example, Molina Healthcare requires three chronic conditions and eight maintenance Part D drugs, or annual Part D costs above $1,623 in 2025, for MTM enrollment [3]. Your state may vary, so reach out to your Medicaid plan or Metro Rehab’s intake team to confirm your coverage.
Medicaid opt-out vs. opt-in
Originally, Medicare Part D MTM programs were opt-in, but rules now require an opt-out approach—meaning eligible beneficiaries are automatically enrolled unless they decline [1]. Medicaid plans often mirror this model, making it easier for you to access therapy without extra paperwork.

Recognize therapy benefits
MTM can transform your medication experience, delivering both health and financial gains.
Improve health outcomes
- 15 percent reduction in emergency department visits among MTM participants
- 12 percent higher adherence rates for chronic medications
- Fewer adverse drug events, especially in older adults
A cohort study of Medicare enrollees reported an overall rate of 50.1 adverse drug events per 1,000 person-years, more than one-third rated serious or life-threatening [1]. With proactive MTM, you significantly lower your risk.
Reduce your costs
Since MTM is a no-cost service for eligible Medicaid members, you avoid extra charges. Better medication use can also reduce hospital stays, clinic visits, and out-of-pocket expenses for complications.

Enrolling in Metro Rehab’s MTM is straightforward. Here’s what you’ll need:
