TO INCLUDE ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY SERVICES WITHIN THE MEDICAID PROVIDER-LED ORGANIZED CARE ACT.

HB 1401 proposed to amend the Arkansas Medicaid provider-led organized care system. The bill sought to remove "Assisted living facility services" from the list of services currently excluded from this system. If enacted, assisted living facility services would become part of the Medicaid provider-led organized care framework. This change would primarily affect Medicaid beneficiaries who utilize or may need assisted living services and the facilities that provide them.
