What’s New for Arkansas Medicaid Providers
Content Updated August 15, 2025
Pharmacy Adding Electronic PA (ePA) and CoverMyMeds
Added 7/1/25
Beginning August 1, 2025, the Arkansas Medicaid Pharmacy Program will add new functionality to begin accepting electronic prior authorization (ePA) requests via CoverMyMeds® in addition to fax requests.
By prompting prescribers to answer required clinical questions, the CoverMyMeds tool will simplify the prior authorization process and offer real-time approval if clinical criteria are met. With the new functionality, prescribers will be able to submit prior authorization requests electronically, upload supporting documents, and track the request in real time.
Additionally, pharmacy providers who utilize CoverMyMeds can initiate medication ePA requests on behalf of a beneficiary. CoverMyMeds will direct the case to the prescriber’s queue prompting them to complete and submit the ePA to Arkansas Medicaid.
Please refer to the Arkansas Medicaid Pharmacy Website for additional information on ePA and CoverMyMeds.
Provider Search Features for Enhanced Accessibility Added to the Health Care Portals
Added 6/26/25
New capabilities have been added to the Health Care portals to enhance search capabilities. Providers and beneficiaries can now more quickly identify providers who offer accommodations for special needs. These capabilities include:
- American Sign Language (ASL) as a searchable language option
- Facility and telehealth accommodations available as filterable criteria
All providers should review their accommodation information and update it. Providers seeking to complete revalidation, enrollment, or re-enrollment with Arkansas Medicaid will be required to review and provide accommodation information in order to submit their applications.
Further search enhancements and self-service tools to update provider information are coming soon.
