GTMRx In-Person & Virtual Advocacy Meeting

The goal of the meeting is to collaboratively develop a successful long-term advocacy campaign designed to implement sustainable payment and policy models that will support team-based, person-centered services to optimize medication use. We believe that this is best accomplished by advancing access to, and payment for comprehensive medication management (CMM). Leading this meeting is the GTMRx Payment and Policy Solutions Workgroup Leadership.

General Topics for Discussion:

• Safeguard the standardized definition of CMM
• Ensuring compensation for a comprehensive set of primary care services to include CMM (in the current payer environment)
• Ensuring access to and payment for CMM services as we transition to sustainable value-based payment models
• Supporting use of companion and complementary diagnostics to target correct therapies
• Keeping the patient at the center: achieving patient-centered outcomes by ensuring an accountable CMM process of care

In May of this year, we published a discussion document which sets forth our 10 policy goals. We are now in the position to move forward more aggressively by establishing an advocacy platform that will decrease barriers to access and payment for CMM services for Americans. To be successful, we need your help, expertise, and ideas on how best to achieve this monumental task.
