To safeguard hospitals’ operational effectiveness in advancing the health and well-being of their communities.
VISION
To be the trusted voice in our state for achieving and sustaining safe, highquality, patient-centered care in a rapidly evolving health care environment.
As the state’s most trusted authority on health care, the AHA has a seat at the table for all major policy initiatives, with the goal of making improvements to enhance individual patient care and public health for all Arkansans Through the AHA, Arkansas hospitals present a united voice to lawmakers and regulatory agencies.
2025 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
The 95th General Assembly adjourned sine die on May 5, 2025 Of the 1,959 bills filed, 1,026 (about 52%) became law. Key legislative focus areas for hospitals included Medicaid expansion, the passage of the landmark “Healthy Moms, Healthy Babies Act” (addressing maternal health), pharmacy access, commercial insurance relationships, graduate medical education, and health care worker protections.
KEY WINS AND KEY SAVES
Maternal Health Improvements (Healthy Moms, Healthy Babies Act - HB 1427 & SB 213, Act 140): Significant legislation was passed to address Arkansas’s maternal mortality rate Requirements for Medicaid include:
Reimburse providers for depression screenings of pregnant women
Reimburse providers for prenatal, delivery, and postpartum services separately (unbundled payment).
Add “presumptive eligibility” for pregnant women (temporary Medicaid coverage)
Cover blood pressure monitoring and medically necessary remote ultrasound procedures for pregnant women.
Add reimbursement opportunities for community health workers and doulas related to prenatal and postpartum care.
Amended the Graduate Medical Education Residency Board (HB 1384, Act 196) to ensure that start-up costs for new programs can be grant funded
Worked with a broad group of stakeholders to expand the definition of “healthcare worker” in the enhanced penalty statute (SB 435, Act 753) for assault and battery of a health care worker
While HB 1930 did not pass, it advanced the conversation around commercial reimbursement and set the stage for future legislative wins
The soft drink tax remains in place, which funds the discretionary portion of the Medicaid Trust Fund.
Medicaid Expansion Reauthorization (ARHOME): The Medicaid expansion was successfully reauthorized and modified to include a work requirement for enrollees and a medical loss ratio requirement for insurers
Prior Authorization Transparency:
HB 1300 (Act 510) established a trust fund for the Arkansas Insurance Department to collect penalties from insurers for noncompliance with Prior Authorization Transparency laws.
HB 1301 (Act 511) better defined the “Gold Card” program, which requires health insurers to authorize exemptions from prior authorization requirements.
Provider Reimbursement:
HB 1288 (Act 423) requires health insurers to retroactively reimburse providers awaiting in-networking credentials for services provided back to the date the medical board submitted a completed packet.
HB 1788 (Act 571) requires a health insurer to determine a non-physician provider’s innetwork participation within 90 calendar days of a completed application.
HB 1296 (Act 556) mandates reimbursement health care services delivered in a mobile unit
HB 1314 (Act 512) creates the medical audit bill of rights to ensure fair audits of claims.
Hospital Retail Pharmacy (SB 58, Act 52): Removed the prohibition on Arkansas nonprofit and governmental hospitals having a retail pharmacy permit, allowing new opportunities to provide patients with better pharmacy access.
The AHA brought together hospital leaders from across the state to speak directly with legislators during the 2025 session

This survey is completed each year by all hospitals in the state and serves as a foundational source of information on hospital services, staffing, utilization, and financial indicators.
