1 Drug Utilization Review (DUR) ations (QL), Age, Gender Edits The Health Net DUR program evaluates a prescription when the pharmacy provider electronically submits the prescription. As the prescription is submitted, a quality assurance review is preformed based on rational drug therapy, referenced interaction information; suggested dosage limits; and recommended length of therapy as indicated by the drug manufacturer s FDA-approved package insert and primary medical literature. The prior authorization process may also be used to request a dosing regimen that is outside the usual recommended DUR and edits. DUR edits used to assist the pharmacist in the provision of quality care are: Drug / Age Conflicts Drug / Disease Conflicts Drug / Drug Interactions Drug / Gender Conflicts Drug / Pregnancy Conflicts Excessive Daily Doses Ingredient Duplication Insufficient Daily Doses Insufficient Duration Refill Too Late Refill Too Soon Therapeutic Duplication Please refer to the Preferred Drug List for the formulary status of these agents.
