HB1011

House Bill 1011 mandates that the Arkansas Medicaid Program provide reimbursement for depression screenings performed on pregnant women. The bill directs the Department of Human Services to seek any necessary federal waivers, state plan amendments, or other authorizations required to facilitate this coverage. By formalizing this requirement in state law, the legislation aims to ensure that depression screenings are a covered service under the state's Medicaid program for expectant mothers.
