Arkansas Medicaid

 

PASSE Carriers:

Arkansas Total Care

Empower

Summit

Delta Dental

Arkansas PASSE carriers, Arkansas Total Care, Empower, and Summit (submitted through Anthem), began managing Arkansas Medicaid medical and pharmacy claims in March 2019.   Delta Dental began managing Arkansas Medicaid dental claims in January 2018.

PASSE and other managing carriers must submit claims to Arkansas Medicaid’s MMIS system. These claims inputs generate Arkansas Medicaid claims in the MMIS system.  Arkansas Medicaid has begun submitting these MMIS claims to the Arkansas APCD in June 2020.  When data selections include both the Arkansas Medicaid, PASSE and/or other managing carrier claims, service event claims could appear to be duplicated.  It is important not to use the matching Arkansas Medicaid claim for analysis as they do not represent the actual service.

 Refer to this data tip to be able to identify a PASSE. Tip: Identifying Arkansas PASSE data

Refer to this data top be able to locate and manage duplicate claims created from the circumstance described. Tip: Identifying Claims Duplicated across Carriers

Use with caution.  Refer to Data Tips for methodology to handle claim duplicates.

Arkansas Medicaid

Pharmacy Claim counts for June 2020 - The number of paid pharmacy claims increased significantly in June 2020 because the Arkansas Medicaid MMIS system received the first submission of pharmacy claims from the Arkansas PASSE carriers that support Arkansas Medicaid. PASSE claims will be received periodically and included with the traditional Medicaid FFS pharmacy clams. No additional PASSE claims were received after June 2020 but are expected in the future. Because the PASSE carriers also submit to the Arkansas APCD, the receipt of these claims through Arkansas Medicaid can create duplicates. Tip: Identifying Claims Duplicated across Carriers

Pharmacy Claim counts for December 2020 - The number of paid pharmacy claims had a one time increase in December 2020 because of claims added to the MMIS system after an ad hoc member reconciliation project. Tip: Arkansas Medicaid Member Consolidation This count increase is visible in the APCD Universe counts. This increase does not include PASSE data as referenced above.
