Arkansas practice questions

How quickly must insurers pay a clean claim in Arkansas?

Arkansas requires health carriers to pay or deny a clean claim within 30 days of receipt if it was submitted electronically and within 45 days if it was submitted by other means. A carrier that misses the deadline owes the claimant a penalty of 12 percent a year on the claim payment, counted from the 61st day after receipt and paid without any action by the claimant. The rule covers HMOs, hospital medical service corporations and disability insurers, plus certain self-insured governmental and church plans and their administrators, and does not cover self-insured employer plans.

How long do I have to file a Medicaid claim in Arkansas?

Arkansas Medicaid requires claims to reach the fiscal agent within twelve months of the date of service.

Do you work with practices outside the largest cities in Arkansas?

Yes. We work remotely, so a practice in a small town is supported the same way as a practice in Little Rock.

Which service should a practice in Arkansas start with?

Start where the problem is biggest: End to End RCM if payments are slow or denials are high, Healthcare Digital Marketing if your schedule has gaps, Virtual Medical Assistance if your front desk is stretched, or a Practice Management System if your tools are scattered. Tell us about your practice and we will suggest a first step.

What should I send first?

A short description of your practice, your specialty, your main payers and the biggest problem you want fixed. Our form asks for the basics.
