The Arkansas Medicaid Program, in an effort to reduce administrative costs, has announced that provider agreements will be terminated on providers that have no claim activity over the past year. Each provider affected will receive a letter from the Arkansas Medicaid Program stating that the agreement will be terminated 60 days from the date of the letter.
Medicaid reimbursement will be denied until the Medicaid provider number is reactivated. Providers wishing to become active in the Arkansas Medicaid Program must contact the Provider Enrollment Unit for instructions on reactivating the provider agreement. However, a provider agreement will not terminate if a claim is submitted within the 60-day timeframe.
A sample of the Medicaid letter will be disseminated in the Arkansas Department of Education’s mass mailing along with a copy of this memorandum. Please make this information available to all interested parties.
