20-77-101. Cost-sharing charges for medically indigent — Legislative intent.
(a) It is the intent of the General Assembly that the Medicaid medical assistance program administered by the Department of Human Services is intended to be supplemental to other potential sources of payment which are or may be available to pay for the costs of medical care delivered to residents of this state. To ensure that the appropriated funds are available to meet the needs of those residents, it is hereby declared the public policy of the State of Arkansas that the program is the payor of last resort to supplement and not supplant other sources which are or may be available to any individual, except when federal requirements under Title V specify otherwise.
(b) The appropriate division of the department, in order to comply with Pub. L. No. 92-603, § 208, may, with respect to the medically indigent:
(1) Provide that an enrollment fee, premium, or similar charge may be imposed;
(2) Specify the amount of and the period of liability for the charges; and
(3) Define the state's policy regarding the effect on the recipient of nonpayment of required charges.
