This bill amends Arkansas Code 20-10-802 to provide an exception from licensure as a home healthcare service for entities that solely offer therapy services not reimbursed by Medicare Part A. The new legal language specifies that such entities must be staffed by healthcare professionals licensed under specific Arkansas statutes. This addition aims to clarify the licensing requirements for therapy service providers, ensuring that those who do not receive Medicare reimbursement are not subjected to the same licensing regulations as other home healthcare services.

Additionally, the bill modifies the existing list of exceptions to include this new category of therapy service providers while renumbering the subsequent exceptions accordingly. The changes streamline the licensing process for certain healthcare professionals and entities, allowing them to operate without the burden of licensure when providing specific therapy services. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance access to therapy services while maintaining regulatory oversight for licensed healthcare practitioners.
