If your APN specialty of practice is General Practitioner (including osteopath), Internal Medicine, Family Practitioner, Pediatrician, Obstetrician, Gynecologist, or Certified Nurse-Midwife you MUST complete the Primary Care Physician Participation Agreement AND the EPSDT Agreement to participate in the Arkansas Medicaid Program. Completion of the EPSDT agreement doesn’t require an APN to provide EPSDT services, as each Medicaid PCP is allowed to set the age range of clients to whom they provide services.
* NOTE * APN providers whose specialty is either Internal Medicine or Obstetrician/Gynecology have the option of enrolling in the Child Health Services (EPSDT) program, please review the Primary Care Physicians policy in Section I of your Arkansas Medicaid Provider manual.
Please refer to Section I of your Arkansas Medicaid Provider manual for information concerning the Primary Care Physician Program.
