Date: 04/16/24

This year, the annual Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Drug Utilization Review (DUR) Survey contains a new voluntary provider survey created by the Texas Health and Human Service Commission (HHSC). This survey will assist in gathering the required data needed to report on Texas's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) usage and meet federal reporting requirements for the following DUR Survey question:

1. The percentage of covered providers (as determined pursuant to a process established by the State) who checked the prescription drug history of a covered individual through a PDMP before prescribing a controlled substance to such an individual.

This year's survey is for data material from Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2023 (October 1, 2022, to September 30, 2023). Provider participation in the survey is requested by May 14, 2024.

Providers may access this survey by visiting: CMS DUR Annual Survey–Provider PDMP Survey.
