How we read this state's schedule
---------------------------------

Schedule shows run date 1/1/2025 but no effective date; rates are date-of-service effective. All codes require EP (EPSDT) modifier; single rate per code with no provider-type tiers. Arkansas pays lesser of billed or Medicaid maximum. PASSE (managed care) enrollees may be paid under PASSE plan contracts, which may differ.
