When this company calls they tell you that they are Express Scripts when they should tell you that they are SinfoniaRx. This is bogus. They should tell you that they are calling on behalf of ES. They are a 3rd party marketing company that does not have anything to do with Medicare. You have to watch these people that do this when they call. It is just like 3rd party people selling you there products. EX, gas and electric companies that the elderly are getting hit with these scams and taking advantage of

We are located in Tucson and sometimes the # pops up as a 520 number

Sounds to me as if Daniel had it right. So how long have you worked for this bunch of scammers?

They never once tried to sell me anything. They send a letter regarding their program and only assist with medication reviews. You are probably getting confused with your plan with Express Scripts who handles and dispenses your medications.. Lastly, pharmacists (with PharmD) go to school to gain experience in medications e.g courses in pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and therapeutics. Primary doctors i.e. those with the MD may only get a few courses in pharmacology. Why can't both work together to reduce the risk of drug errors and safety problems?

left message about part d prescripts update but funny thing is the pharmacy does this when due for the overview for us so why bother

The phone number belongs to a company named SinfoniaRx. They work with Medicare Part D Plan Provider Express Scripts and quite likely other Part D providers.They have a program where they have a 'pharmacist' call you to 'review' your medications, try to get you off the more expensive medications in exchange for cheaper medications, and then they will try to get you to use their mail-order pharmacy, so they can make even more money. They do this all under the guise of trying to help you not to take the wrong medications--yeah and please have the people who sell bridges call me next! Personally, I prefer my doctor with an 'M.D.' behind his name, reviewing my medications.SinfoniaRx dotcom is the company, their primary phone number is 844-866-3735 (only the last digit is different).

Big mistake. An 'M.D' has little knowledge of medications like a pharmacist does. A PharmD went all the way through college specifically for pharmacy, whereas your precious MD may have only taken like a semester's worth of knowledge. If there's a 4 year program to become a pharmacist, the one semester an MD gets isn't even comparable to the training and education that a PharmD gets. I work in healthcare and know that Medicare prescription drug plans are required to offer a review service to members who have certain health conditions.

While I respect the training a pharmacist receives, there are not sitting with me every few months asking background questions, understanding my complete medical history and carefully listening to my issues/concerns/fears etc. I deal with an excellent pharmacist at my local pharmacy; however, she is the first to recommend that I discuss in-depth questions first.

These idiots keep calling. The fact that their name is medication management makes me wonder if they are related to credit card services. You know, the credit card scammers?!?

Pharmacists in most community settings do NOT have prescriptive authority. This separation was originally done to help avoid a potential conflict of interest. A conflict of interest, where for say a prescriber could preferentially dispense a medication that would cost more but not necessarily be more effective than other options available. However, SOME pharmacists in the U.S. CAN prescribe medications through something called collaborative practice. This is where the physician usually diagnoses a patient and the prescription decisions are made and written by the pharmacist.

Also, if you didn't want to participate you can always politely decline.

This was an Arizona call 520-382-6554, according to 'caller ID', they tell you to call 844-866-3730 to talk to them. The say that they represent you r insurance company. If they want people to call them back, they should have a legitimate caller ID.

I want to set the record straight. What this company provides is a clinical service called Medication Therapy Management (MTM) over the phone. MTM services usually include a thorough analysis of all medications (prescription, over-the-counter, and supplements) with the aim to optimize drug therapy and improve therapeutic outcomes for patients. MTM can be performed by most licensed healthcare providers but usually it is a doctor of pharmacy (Pharm.D.) that provides these services due to their extensive pharmacological training and background. The reviews usually also identify any potential drug-drug interactions, drug-disease interactions, adverse drug reactions, and address adherence issues (such as cost limitations, side effects, complex dosing regimen) as well as other professional services. Because MTM programs have strong evidence showing they improve health outcomes and significantly decrease health care costs (such as preventing avoidable hospital visits due to improper medication therapy or usage), they have become a requirement of and one of the core measures of quality (STAR Measures) for Medicaid and Medicare plans. Even most of the top private commercial health plans provide MTM services to their patients, not because they are required to do so, but because they recognize the clear benefit of having healthier patients.If you receive a call from a company performing MTM on behalf of your health care plan, keep in mind that they already have a list of your medications from your insurance company based on your prescription claims or from your provider’s office. However, before the company performing MTM releases any of your PHI (protected health information) they need to verify HIPAA with some basic information such as name, DOB, an address that matches the one they have on file, or other alternative pieces of information. This is done to protect your health information. No one should ever ask for you for any form of payment information. MTM providers are contracted by your health plan ahead of time and because MTM more than pays for itself, there is no additional cost to patients. The service is also OPTIONAL so you may politely decline or opt-out of the MTM service. However, I advise you keep an open mind and do the review. If you do the review with a pharmacist, now is the time to ask good questions and voice concerns about your medications. It is not often that you will get this level of one on one attention from a pharmacist especially if your only interaction with pharmacists has been at busy community or retail stores.In the end your health care providers are human, and the having an additional professional who can quickly review your medications with you in the comfort of your own home is a huge boon to you. Ideally all of your healthcare providers should work as a team leveraging their various strengths for your benefit.

SinfoniaRX has nothing to do with mail order plus pharmacist are Ph.D. and have much more schooling when it come to medications. This is a legit Company completing medication reviews as part of the MTM Medicare programhttp://www.pharmacy.arizona.edu/centers/mmc-homeGo to Medicare dot gov and search MTM and it will explain the program

Wants to review my meds. No id of who they are.

They keep calling daily w/message saying they are calling on behalf of Anthem BCBS.Odd that I never had these calls before Anthem was hacked.When did I give Anthem permission to release my personal information?

WRONG! They are contracted by the plans the members already have to provide a MEDICARE required service. So yes, they do work with Medicare Part D drug plans. They have a copy of your prescription list and can tell you which pharmacy you use, doctors you see - But first, they require the person to verify HIPAA, which is a LAW they must follow/abide by.

If that were the case I could go to my pharmacy and the pharmacist could prescribe something for me.

And if that weren't the case (what I originally said), many patients would already be dead due to their 'M.D's' prescribing.
