TO REQUIRE INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENTS OF A BENEFICIARY IN THE ARKANSAS MEDICAID PROGRAM FOR HOME- AND COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES BE COMPLETED WITHIN A CERTAIN TIME.
HB 1584 requires the Arkansas Medicaid Program to complete independent assessments for beneficiaries seeking home- and community-based services (HCBS) within 30 days of application. This applies to all applicants, including those needing a full assessment or an abbreviated review if previously approved for similar services. The bill mandates the Department of Human Services to implement this timeline and seek necessary federal approvals.
