6 Arkansas Medicaid Therapy Billing Tips Eligibility Beneficiary eligibility for the Arkansas Medicaid program is determined at the Department of Human Services (DHS) county office. A beneficiary s eligibility may begin and end on any day of any month. Because program eligibility is date specific, providers are required to check each beneficiary s eligibility on the date of service and are encouraged to do so using one of the following tools: PES Arkansas Medicaid Direct Data Entry (DDE) website Both tools verify eligibility electronically for a specific date or range of dates, including retroactive eligibility for a year. For more information on eligibility, refer to Section I of your Arkansas Medicaid provider manual. Restricted Aid Categories Many providers ask a question that is closely related to eligibility: Is there a list of aid categories that require a primary care physician? The answer is no. Arkansas Medicaid s primary care case management program, ConnectCare, requires Medicaid beneficiaries and waiver participants to enroll with a primary care physician (PCP) unless specifically exempt from that requirement. See these sections of your Arkansas Medicaid provider manual for more information related to eligibility: Section , which lists the groups of individuals who may not enroll with a PCP Section , which lists Medicaid covered services that do not require PCP referral On the following pages are a consolidated list of aid categories with restrictions and a complete list of aid categories taken from Section of your Arkansas Medicaid provider manual. 4
