The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA 1990) required each state Medicaid Program to establish a Drug Utilization Review (DUR) program for outpatient drugs.
The Kansas Medical Assistance Program (KMAP) has created a preferred drug list (PDL) to promote clinically appropriate utilization of pharmaceuticals in a cost-effective manner without compromising the quality of care.
The purpose of the Mental Health Medication Advisory Committee (MHMAC) is to provide recommendations to the Medicaid Drug Utilization Review (DUR) Board for the purpose of developing guidelines.
