The bill proposes to amend the Arkansas Code 20-77-2705(b) to include assisted living facility services within the Medicaid provider-led organized care system. Currently, assisted living facility services are excluded from the services provided to enrollable Medicaid beneficiary populations. The amendment will remove the exclusion, thereby allowing these services to be covered under the Medicaid program. In addition to the inclusion of assisted living facility services, the bill also makes a minor adjustment to the numbering of the remaining services listed in the section. Specifically, the deletion of the phrase "Assisted living facility services;" will lead to a renumbering of the subsequent services, ensuring that the list remains accurate and organized. This change aims to enhance the range of services available to Medicaid beneficiaries, promoting better access to necessary care.
