Arkansas Medicaid pays for in-home personal care and related services through 2 programs, including the ARChoices in Homecare Waiver and the Community and Employment Support (CES) Waiver. ARChoices is operated by the Division of Aging, Adult, and Behavioral Health Services (DAABHS) under the Division of Medical Services; CES is operated by the Division of Developmental Disabilities Services and delivered through PASSE managed care. As of October 2025, State Plan Personal Care, ARChoices attendant care, and ARChoices respite providers are licensed only by the Department of Health, and ARChoices and Living Choices (assisted living) are being redesigned. Confirm EVV and billing requirements with Arkansas DHS.
