What’s New for Arkansas Medicaid Providers
Content Updated December 8, 2023
Diabetic Supplies Update
To better assess the concerns and options proposed in public comments, DHS is postponing the effective date for Rule 243 for moving continuous glucose monitors and diabetic supplies to pharmacy point of sale claims processing until 4/1/2024. AFMC will continue to review DME requests for continuous glucose monitors and diabetic supplies and provide necessary authorizations. Further communication will be provided when information is available.
If there are any questions, please contact the Magellan Help Desk at (800) 424-7895.
Hepatitis C Update
Arkansas Medicaid has updated the prior authorization criteria for Hepatitis C reviews. The requirement for a certain fibrosis score, which dictates the amount of fibrosis in the liver, has been removed from the criteria. Fibrosis scores will no longer determine treatment eligibility. Each prior authorization request received will continue to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
The hepatitis C prior authorization form has been updated.
If there are any questions, please contact the Arkansas Medicaid Pharmacy Program at (501) 683-4120.
