Abstract: Section 4401 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 and section 1927(d) of the Social Security Act requires States to provide for a Medicaid Drug Utilization Review (DUR) program for covered outpatient drugs. The DUR program is required to assure that prescriptions are appropriate, medically necessary and are not likely to result in adverse medical results. Each State DUR program must consist of prospective drug use review, retrospective drug use review, data assessment of drug use against predetermined standards, and ongoing educational outreach activities. In addition, States are required to submit an annual DUR program report that includes a description of the nature and scope of State DUR activities as outlined in the statute and regulations.
