Statement of Necessity The Division of Aging and Adult Behavioral Services (DAABHS) issues a new, streamlined Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) 57 Medicaid Provider Manual. The primary need for revision is recent changes in the federal PACE regulations found at 42 CFR Part 460 and to comply with Act 144 of the 2025 Regular Session of the State of Arkansas 95th General Assembly. The reorganized and revised manual is more conducive for provider reference and use.
No public hearing was held on this rule. The period expired on May 18, 2026. The agency indicated that it received no comments. Lacey Johnson, an attorney with the Bureau of Legislative Research, asked the following questions and received the following responses: 1. The list of participant rights in 202.200 mirrors the list in 42 CFR § 460.112, with one exception. Is there a reason “right to treatment” is included in the CFR (§ 460.112(b)) but not in the provider manual? RESPONSE: [The agency changed the proposed rule to conform to the federal language.] 2. The list of medical specialty services in 220.200(L) mirrors the list in 42 CFR § 460.70, with one exception. Is there a reason “palliative medicine” is included in the CFR (§ 460.70(a)(1)(xvi)) but not in the provider manual? RESPONSE: [The agency changed the proposed rule to conform to the federal language.]
