An “invalid” TIP is defined as one that is incorrectly
identified for a patient—if, for instance, the patient is already
compliant with all medications or a medical rationale
exists against the proposed intervention. Conversely,
an “approved” TIP is one accepted by OutcomesMTM for
payment.4 If a patient is eligible for a TIP, they are most
likely eligible to receive an annual Comprehensive Medication
Review (CMR), an extensive evaluation of their
medication regimen. While a TIP targets a specific end
point, a CMR can be tailored in a way that is patient-specific
and addresses all potential medication issues.
