This bill amends the definition of "enrollable Medicaid beneficiary population" within the Medicaid Provider-Led Organized Care Act. It expands the definition to include not only members of covered and voluntary Medicaid beneficiary populations but also those designated by the Governor and approved by the Legislative Council. This change aims to provide greater flexibility in determining which populations can be enrolled in the Medicaid program.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision that exempts services provided under the 340B Drug Pricing Program for populations enrolled in qualified health insurance plans under the Arkansas Health and Opportunity for Me Program, provided these populations are also designated by the Governor and approved by the Legislative Council as enrollable Medicaid beneficiaries. This exemption is intended to streamline access to necessary services for specific populations while ensuring oversight and approval from state authorities.
