The Mississippi Evidence-Based DUR Initiative (MS-DUR) performs the retrospective
drug utilization review (DUR) for the Mississippi Division of Medicaid. MS-DUR supports
the function of the DUR Board by performing in-depth analyses using pharmacy and
medical claims data to encourage evidence-based appropriate use of medications in
the Mississippi Medicaid population. MS-DUR reviews claims data monitors FDA-based
safety information to ensure quality care is delivered to Medicaid beneficiaries.
Based on activities of the DUR Board and claims reviews, MS-DUR provides educational
outreach to health care practitioners on drug therapy to improve prescribing and
dispensing practices for Mississippi Division or Medicaid beneficiaries.
The MS-DUR website has resources for providers, including the “Mississippi Medicaid
Pharmacy Update” newsletters and special initiatives developed to assist providers
in selecting therapy, like the “Medicaid Cough and Cold Quick List.”
