Choosing an Arkansas Medicaid category

Choosing an Arkansas Medicaid category Qualifications and requirements: Eligibility depends on category, income, Arkansas residence and other requirements; resource rules differ by category. DHS has separate children/family and aged/blind/disabled routes, including pregnancy, disability and long-term-care categories. Documents to prepare (confirm what is required): Preparation list: Household/tax-family and income information; Preparation list: Identity, residence, coverage and requested category information Exceptions and checks: Adult, disability/long-term-care and child categories do not use one universal eligibility test. Questions to ask: Is coverage sought for a child, adult, pregnancy, disability or long-term care?; Is there a renewal, denial or treatment notice? Next steps: Ask DHS to screen all relevant current categories.; Keep verification requests and the written decision/appeal instructions. Limits: Source-based preparation guidance, not an eligibility determination. The court, agency or funder applies current rules to your facts. County routing does not confirm local openings or provider availability.
