On June 2, 2023, Arkansas requested to amend their Medicaid section 1115 demonstration entitled “Arkansas Health and Opportunity for Me (ARHOME).” The proposed amendment, through the Opportunities for Success Initiative, would provide additional supports to underemployed and unemployed adults in ARHOME. Beneficiaries who are not progressing toward improved health and economic independence will be provided with the opportunity to receive focused care coordination services through the assistance of a Success Coach. If a beneficiary consistently declines to participate in health improvement and economic independence opportunities, a beneficiary may be re-assigned from the QHP to the Fee-for-Service (FFS) delivery system. Additionally, the proposed amendment seeks to expand Success Life360 HOME eligibility by increasing the age limit for eligible groups up to age 59 and removing the “at risk of homelessness” limitation from the veteran eligibility criteria. The federal comment period will be open from June 14, 2023 through July 14, 2023.
