Per federal law, each state must establish a Drug Use Review (DUR) Board. North Dakota Medicaid's DUR Board has been active for many years. The DUR Board's functions include but are not limited to serving as an advisory board for various policies, identifying and developing educational topics for practitioners to improve drug therapy, and assisting the department in identifying patterns of fraud, abuse, gross overuse, or inappropriate or medically unnecessary care.

The DUR Board includes six physicians, six pharmacists, and three non-voting members as outlined by state law. Meetings are held at least quarterly, and the meetings are open to the public. If you have any questions regarding N.D. Medicaid's DUR Board or the Medication Prior Authorization Program, please contact Brendan Joyce, PharmD, Administrator, Pharmacy Services at sojoyb@nd.gov.
