What’s New for Arkansas Medicaid Providers
Content Updated April 25, 2024
Magellan Pharmacy Point of Sale System Will Be Down
Magellan will be performing maintenance to the pharmacy point of sale system beginning
Saturday, May 4 at 10:00 PM CT and lasting approximately 3 hours, until Sunday, May 5 at 1:00 AM CT. The pharmacy point of sale claims system will be down during this timeframe.
Diabetic Supplies Update
As previously communicated, Arkansas Medicaid is updating the billing processes for diabetic supplies including Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM), which will be changing to a pharmacy claim type submission by both pharmacies and DME providers. Because the rule is still pending approval, the official start date is postponed. Additional communications will be provided closer to the date of implementation.
Please visit the pharmacy website http://ar.magellanrx.com for all diabetic supply announcements and criteria. The Magellan Help Desk can be reached Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., at (800) 424-7895.

The MMIS Outreach Team has big news! They will not host five regional Annual Billing Workshops this fall. Instead, they will now host one centralized Annual Billing Conference for ALL Arkansas Medicaid providers on May 9, 2024. Register now or learn more on the Provider Training webpage.
