NOTICE OF RULE MAKINGThe Director of the Division of Medical Services of the Department of Human Services announces for a public comment period of thirty (30) calendar days a notice of rulemaking for the following proposed rule under one or more of the following chapters, subchapters, or sections of the Arkansas Code: §§ 20-38-101 to -113, 20-48-101 to -1108, 20-76-201, 20 77-107, 25-10-102, 25-10-129, and 25-15-217.Effective January 1, 2021:The Director of the Division of Medical Services (DMS) issues the Licensure Manual for Community Support System Providers. DMS issues the new rules to establish a path for certification providers to address current and future needs of behavioral health (BH), developmentally disabled (DD), and dually diagnosed clients. The rules create a new Arkansas Medicaid provider type and certification called a Community Support System Provider that allows providers to become certified to serve the BH, DD, and dually diagnosed populations. The rules also create a path for a crisis continuum of services to support providers’ work.The new rules eliminate the need for two different certifications for providers to serve the above populations while allowing individual certifications to remain in place for providers who choose to serve a single population. The rules break down the barrier between home and community-based services and intensive services to allow for easier and faster program transitions for our clients. And, the rules open new business opportunities for providers and allow DHS to maximize the current provider networks, filling gaps in the continuum of care for the highest need clients.The proposed rule is available for review at the Department of Human Services (DHS) Office of Rules Promulgation, 2nd floor Donaghey Plaza South Building, 7th and Main Streets, P. O. Box 1437, Slot S295, Little Rock, Arkansas 72203 1437.
