The Formulary: How Technicians Can Promote Health Equity in Medication Therapy Management

by Sarah G. Francis, MS, MBA, CPhT-Adv

Health equity means that everyone should be as healthy as reasonably possible, which includes medication adherence and financial well-being. Medication adherence is affected when patients are not able to obtain medication due to financial barriers. Pharmacy technicians are responsible for many of the administrative tasks associated with medication therapy management (MTM). These tasks include generating a personal medication record (PMR) and billing for service. Pharmacy technicians can help reduce the financial burden on patients by identifying formulary medications and their associated tiers on a patient’s PMR. This article outlines the tasks a pharmacy technician should complete to identify formulary drugs during MTM to help with patients' health equity.
