Today, the Center for Medicare
and Medicaid (CMS) released the FFY 2017 Drug Utilization Review (DUR)
State Comparison/Summary Report.
To help address the opioid
epidemic, states have actively implemented several management control
measures such as: using quantity limits and days’ supply limits for
short-acting and long-acting opioids, applying statewide prescription drug
monitoring programs, and utilizing morphine daily dose alerts to prevent
drug overdose.
CMS also continues to work with
states and manufacturers on new and innovative legislative, regulatory and
policy initiatives to help reduce the use and abuse of opioids in Medicaid
patients.
