Findings
In 2026, the largest study to date of MTM within Medicaid found that 6 months of MTM reduces hospitalizations, ED visits, and healthcare costs. Participation in Community Servings’ MTM program, 2020 to 2023, was associated with:
- 31% fewer hospitalizations
- 20% fewer ED visits
- $3,433 lower total healthcare costs per patient, offsetting 98% of MTM program costs
MTM was net cost-saving among subgroups with high medical complexity. Per-person cost reductions were $12,312 with chronic kidney disease, $10,450 with cardiovascular disease, $5,597 with depression and anxiety, and $4,123 with diabetes.
