HB 1255 Arkansas House · 2025 Regular Session

TO AMEND THE COVERAGE OF A CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITOR IN THE ARKANSAS MEDICAID PROGRAM.

House Bill 1255, now Act 857, amends the coverage of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) within the Arkansas Medicaid program. This legislation directly affects individuals enrolled in Arkansas Medicaid who require these devices for managing their health. While the specific details of the coverage changes are not provided in the amendment text, an amendment to HB 1255 removed the phrase "processes and paperwork" from the bill. The act ultimately modifies how these essential medical devices are covered for Medicaid beneficiaries in Arkansas.
