The bill amends the Arkansas Medicaid Program's coverage requirements for continuous glucose monitors. Specifically, it modifies the criteria under which these devices can be covered by removing the stipulation that insulin must be used more than two times daily. Instead, it introduces a new requirement that insulin use must align with Medicare policy.

Additionally, the bill maintains the existing coverage criteria for individuals diagnosed with type 1 diabetes or other types of diabetes, as well as those with glycogen storage disease type 1a. This change aims to streamline the eligibility for continuous glucose monitors, ensuring that more patients can access this essential medical technology.
