Medication Management
Arcara Personalized Psychiatry provides Medicare-designed medication management services that ensure you get the most benefits out of your medication plan. We aim to help you get value from all the medications you take. With professional help, you can ensure your medicine is working for you, find lower-cost alternatives, and ask questions regarding your medications.
Like many Arcara members, you take a variety of medications prescribed by different doctors. But with medication management guidance, you’re not winging it but know exactly how your drugs affect you.
In medication management therapy (MMT), pharmacists and healthcare providers work together to ensure their patients use the medication correctly and understand the medication. It is a method of treating patients to ensure that they receive the best therapeutic results from prescription drugs.

Examining and assessing the patient’s medication, including potential interactions and side effects.
We develop short- and long-term treatment strategies
We monitor the efficacy and safety of all prescription dosage plans
