Easier network information for Arkansas Medicaid members
Arkansas providers can tell current or potential Medicaid members whether they participate in a risk-based provider group's network without violating marketing rules. The law aims to help members understand network status and what choosing a group without their provider means. Arkansas's Department of Human Services and provider groups cannot require separate network-status and open-enrollment messages when providers explain members' freedom to choose groups and network providers. They also cannot block providers from answering enrollment or network questions, provided answers are accurate, not misleading, and do not steer group choices. Providers must follow federal Medicaid marketing rules as they existed on January 1, 2025. The department must update its marketing rules to match the law.
