The Texas DUR Board is an HHSC advisory committee that meets quarterly in Austin to:

The board includes physicians and pharmacists who provide services across the entire Medicaid population, as well as one physician and one pharmacist representing the managed care organizations, and one consumer advocate who represents people enrolled in Medicaid.
