Section I

141.000 Provider Enrollment 10-8-10

Any provider of health care services must be enrolled in the Arkansas Medicaid Program before Medicaid will cover any services provided to Arkansas Medicaid beneficiaries. Enrollment as a new Medicaid provider is conditioned upon approval of a completed provider enrollment and contract package (AppMaterial), application and the execution of a Medicaid Provider contract. Persons and entities that are excluded or debarred under any state or federal law, regulation, or rule are not eligible to enroll, or to remain enrolled, as Medicaid providers.

The provider enrollment functions for the Medicaid program are performed by an independent contractor. The contractor is responsible for provider enrollment services for new providers and changes to current provider enrollment files. New providers must complete all appropriate portions of a provider enrollment and contract package (AppMaterial) and submit a copy of all certifications and licenses verifying compliance with enrollment criteria for the discipline to be practiced. All subsequent state license and certification renewals must be forwarded to the Medicaid Provider Enrollment Unit within 30 days of issuance. If the renewal document(s) have not been received within this timeframe, the provider will have an additional and FINAL 30 days to comply. Failure to timely submit verification of license or certification renewals will result in cancellation of enrollment in the Arkansas Medicaid Program. View or print the provider enrollment and contract package (AppMaterial).

A potential provider may complete the necessary forms for enrollment and submit them via the Internet by connecting to the Arkansas Medicaid Web site at www.medicaid.state.ar.us/or they may return the printed forms to the Medicaid Provider Enrollment Unit. View or print the Medicaid Provider Enrollment Unit contact information.

In addition to the information in Section 140.000, Section II of each program's provider manual contains provider type-specific participation requirements and program guidelines where applicable.

All providers must sign an Arkansas Medicaid Provider Contract. The signature must be an original signature or an approved electronic signature of the individual provider. The provider's authorized representative may sign the contract for a group practice, hospital, agency or other institution.

Provider eligibility is retroactive one year from the date the provider agreement is approved, the effective date of the provider's license or certification or the date Medicaid implemented the provider's program or whichever date is the most recent.
