Job description

This is temporary MTM Pharmacist remote position for a duration of 3-4 months only.

Who We Are

Advantage is redefining what it means to be a pharmacy for people with serious behavioral health conditions. We specialize in serving patients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, substance use disorder, and related challenges—patients who are often overlooked by traditional healthcare systems. We provide advanced pharmacy services and wraparound care that ensure patients can access and stay on complex medications.

Job Overview

The Clinical MTM Pharmacist works remotely and evaluates and optimizes patients’ medication regimens via phone or virtual platforms, documents interventions, and collaborates with prescribers to improve safety, adherence, and quality outcomes. The role focuses on comprehensive medication reviews, targeted interventions, and closing quality gaps (e.g., Medicare Star measures) without routine dispensing responsibilities.

This position requires clinical excellence, autonomy, strong collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, and a commitment to patient-centered, community-based care.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform comprehensive and targeted medication reviews (CMRs/TMRs) to assess indication, effectiveness, safety, and adherence for all chronic medications.
• Conduct telephonic or video MTM consultations, educate patients, identify medication-related problems, and develop and communicate individualized care plans.
• Coordinate with prescribers and care teams to recommend therapy changes, resolve drug therapy problems, and support guideline-concordant prescribing.
• Document encounters, care plans, and interventions in the MTM or clinical platform in a timely, accurate, and compliant manner.
• Support quality and value-based initiatives (e.g., Medicare Part D MTM, adherence, high-risk meds, statin use in diabetes, opioid safety) through proactive outreach and follow-up.
• Review pharmacy and medical claims data to identify MTM-eligible members and clinical intervention opportunities.
• Assist in developing patient and provider educational materials and contribute to process improvement of MTM workflows.
• Maintain current knowledge of MTM program requirements, CMS guidance, and health plan or PBM policies impacting MTM operations.
• Perform additional duties as assigned and within scope of pharmacy practice.

Requirements

• Active, unrestricted California Pharmacist license in good standing.
• Strong clinical judgment in chronic disease pharmacotherapy (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, HF, COPD, behavioral health).
• Excellent telephonic communication skills, motivational interviewing, and health literacy–sensitive patient education.
• High attention to detail with efficient documentation and time management in a remote environment.
• Comfort with multiple technology platforms (EHR/MTM platforms, virtual call systems, data dashboards) and basic data interpretation.
• Ability to work independently with minimal direct supervision.
• Consistent application of standard precautions and infection prevention and control practices in alignment with CDC and organizational guidelines.
• Commitment to patient-centered, equitable, and compassionate care.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior MTM, ambulatory care, managed care, or clinical pharmacy experience strongly preferred.
• Current malpractice insurance maintained at all times.

Working Conditions

• Full time.
• 100% Remote.
• Must be able to lift to 15 pounds at times.

Benefits

• Competitive salary.
• Opportunity to make a meaningful impact on patient care.
• Collaborative and supportive work environment.
• Professional development and training opportunities.
