Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request 

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services, HHS. 

In compliance with the requirement 

of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 

Services (CMS), Department of Health 

and Human Services, is publishing the 

following summary of proposed 

collections for public comment. 

Interested persons are invited to send 

comments regarding this burden 

estimate or any other aspect of this 

collection of information, including any 

of the following subjects: (1) The 

necessity and utility of the proposed 

information collection for the proper 

performance of the Agency’s function; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (4) the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology to 

minimize the information collection 

burden. 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Reinstatement with change of a 

previously approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Medicaid Drug 

Utilization Review (DUR) Annual 

Report; Use: 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. Over 

the years, technology has changed as 

has the practice of the pharmacy. 

Therefore, CMS has revised the old 

survey vehicle to more fully address the 

current practices and areas of concern 

with the Medicaid Pharmacy Programs.
