CMS Moratorium on Newly Enrolling DME Supplier Types

Added 3/9/26
Arkansas Medicaid Provider Enrollment strongly urges all providers to stay current with all Medicare and Medicaid revalidation requests and monitor all notices closely.

Effective February 27, 2026, CMS implemented a six-month nationwide moratorium on new Medicare enrollment for certain Durable Medical Equipment (DME) supplier types to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse, which may be extended in additional six-month increments. While currently enrolled providers are unaffected, failure to complete Medicare or Medicaid revalidation could lead to termination as an Arkansas Medicaid provider and an inability to re-enroll during the moratorium. For more details, read the CMS Moratorium Q&A.

Early Intervention Day Treatment (EIDT) and Adult Development Day Treatment (ADDT) Providers Updated Provider Revalidation Action Required

Added 2/25/26
Early Intervention Day Treatment (EIDT) and Adult Development Day Treatment (ADDT) providers (type 24) are required to comply with the standard revalidation requirement every five (5) years, in accordance with 42 CFR § 455.414. Due to an error, EIDT and ADDT providers who should have submitted a revalidation application were not informed. As a result, more than five (5) years have passed since the provider’s enrollment application (initial enrollment, re-enrollment, or revalidation) was last submitted for this provider type.

Beginning March 2, 2026, providers can review their revalidation date in the Health Care Portal.

Who Must Revalidate

EIDT and ADDT providers with an initial enrollment date older than five years will be required to complete a revalidation application to maintain continued enrollment.

Portal Updates

When logging into the portal, providers will see a revalidation link along with their assigned revalidation deadline date.

  • Providers whose revalidation date falls within the next 60 days should complete their revalidation during this initial cycle using the revalidation link provided.
  • Providers with a revalidation date scheduled later should wait and complete their revalidation at the future date displayed in the portal.

Providers will have 60 days to complete revalidation, but DHS requests that applications be submitted as soon as possible.

Required Documentation

The following items are required to complete the revalidation process:

  • W 9 (2024 version)
  • IRS Letter
    • Required for the enrolling provider and any listed entity owners
  • EFT Form and Bank Letter
    • Only required if updating EFT information
  • DPSQA Certificates
    • Must match service location
  • ACA Fee (proof of paid fee)
    • Required at the time of revalidation
    • Applies to EIDT and ADDT (type 24) providers
    • A link to pay the fee online is available in the portal
    • A paid receipt must accompany the revalidation application

Failure to complete revalidation will result in termination as an Arkansas Medicaid provider.
