What is prevented with MTM?

• A. Adverse events
• B. Hospitalizations
• C. Medication non-adherence
• D. Insurance denial

Answer: (A)

MTM focuses on optimizing medication use by proactively identifying and resolving medication problems before harm occurs. Through a thorough medication review, dosing checks, assessment for drug–drug interactions and duplications, allergy and contraindication checks, and patient education, MTM prevents adverse drug events. The safety-focused nature of MTM makes preventing adverse events the most direct and central benefit. While MTM can also reduce hospitalizations and improve adherence as downstream effects, and while it may help with understanding coverage, the primary prevention target is avoiding medication-related harm.
