The intervention and educational programs shall be developed by the Drug Use Review Board and shall be updated as more information is available from the retrospective review process.

The Drug Use Review Board may establish referral processes to the Board of Pharmacy, the Board of Medical Examiners, the Board of Dental Examiners, other health care licensing agencies, or the Division of Health Benefits Program Integrity Section for individual pharmacists or prescriber who continue to demonstrate patterns of prescribing or dispensing which put the Medicaid recipient at risk from drug therapy problems even after repeated warnings through Drug Use Review interventions.
