Arkansas Medicaid/CHIP Coverage
When 2022 began, 966,922 Arkansas residents were enrolled in a Medicaid/CHIP plan, a figure resulting from a net growth increase in enrollment totaling 73.64% since the Marketplace Open Enrollment Period in 2013.1 Although the rate of enrollment for those eligible has been on the rise, not everyone who is eligible for these plans is currently enrolled.1 To spur further involvement in these programs and increase those receiving Medicaid/CHIP coverage, Arkansas has deployed targeted enrollment strategies which, along with the net increase in enrollment, bodes well for health insurance agents looking to expand their clientele.1
Arkansawyers who are receiving their health insurance coverage through Medicaid would likely benefit from working with a licensed insurance agent who can help connect them with a plan that offers them access to the level of care quality they are looking for. Arkansas reported that 19 of 27 quality of care standards were being adequately met for adult recipients enrolled in Medicaid.1 As an agent providing consultation on coverage in Arkansas, the members you work with would trust in your expertise and would appreciate your guidance in their health care decision-making.
