Adult patients aged \u226518 years who received highercost PPIs were included. The pharmacists provided MTM services to patients telephonically to review all aspects of the patients\u2019 medication regimen as well as conversion recommendation to lower-cost PPIs. The cost avoidance analysis and sensitivity analysis were conducted.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 40 eligible patients, 9 patients accepted the medication conversion, resulting in a 22.5% acceptance rate. The total cost avoidance from medication conversions was $19,937.1 per year, which equated to $2,215.2 per patient. The adjusted cost avoidance of medication conversion was estimated by assuming the patients who accepted the conversion continued taking the medication for 365 days and resulted in a total savings of $40,370.7 per year, which equated to $4,485.6 per patient. There were no significant association between the acceptance of medication conversions and patient\u2019s age(P = 0.15), gender(P = 0.73), and insurance status(P = 0.96).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study results showed that the call-center MTM with medicationconversion interventions successfully demonstrated an economically advantageous impact from a budgetary perspective.
