The bill proposes to establish a reimbursement rate for orthotics and prosthetics within the Arkansas Medicaid Program. Specifically, it sets the reimbursement rate at ninety percent (90%) of the Medicare reimbursement rate for these services. This new provision is introduced as section 20-77-148 in the Arkansas Code Title 20, Chapter 77, Subchapter 1.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the Department of Human Services is responsible for applying for any necessary federal waivers, Medicaid state plan amendments, or other authorities to implement this new reimbursement rate effectively. This legislative change aims to ensure that individuals requiring orthotics and prosthetics have access to necessary financial support through Medicaid.
