Drug Utilization Review (DUR) Board

The purpose of the Indiana Medicaid DUR Board is to serve in an advisory capacity to Indiana Medicaid with regard to the dispensing of drugs by Indiana Medicaid-enrolled providers and the use of drugs by Indiana Medicaid members. The board is composed of representatives of the pharmacy, medical, and scientific communities and has a responsibility to establish criteria for both retrospective review and prospective surveillance of drug dispensing for and use by Indiana Medicaid members. Through the expert opinion of the board members, aided when appropriate by consultants, the board provides the Medicaid agency with advice on matters of drug usage to allow for appropriate and cost-effective delivery of medical and pharmaceutical care.

Regular meetings are held to review issues relating to the board. This site contains the meeting schedule and agenda for upcoming meetings. Meeting minutes are also available for prior meetings. If you would like to submit a topic for discussion at a board meeting, please add your name to the speaker sign-in sheet.
