Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. The term ‘‘collection of
information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C.
3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and
includes agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies
to publish a 30-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension or
reinstatement of an existing collection
of information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, CMS is
publishing this notice that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicaid Drug
Use Review (DUR) Program; Use: States
must provide for a review of drug
therapy before each prescription is filled
or delivered to a Medicaid patient. This
review includes screening for potential
drug therapy problems due to
therapeutic duplication, drug-disease
contraindications, drug-drug
interactions, incorrect drug dosage or
duration of drug treatment, drug-allergy
interactions, and clinical abuse/misuse.
Pharmacists must make a reasonable
effort to obtain, record, and maintain
Medicaid patient profiles. These profiles
must reflect at least the patient’s name,
address, telephone number, date of
birth/age, gender, history, e.g., allergies,
drug reactions, list of medications, and
pharmacist’s comments relevant to the
individual’s drug therapy.
The State must conduct RetroDUR
which provides for the ongoing periodic
examination of claims data and other
records in order to identify patterns of
fraud, abuse, inappropriate or medically
unnecessary care. Patterns or trends of
drug therapy problems are identified
and reviewed to determine the need for
intervention activity with pharmacists
and/or physicians. States may conduct

of States’ DUR programs. The
information submitted by States is
reviewed and results are compiled by
CMS in a format intended to provide
