Abstract
Adherence to a biologic treatment regimen is essential for tracking efficacy and justifying its cost. That's where medication therapy management services come in.Pharmacists are providing medication therapy management (MTM) services for patients taking biologics, although studies to demonstrate its cost-effectiveness are lacking. Is this the best way to ensure that high-cost, high-impact biologics are used correctly?
