The purpose of this Rule is to require health benefit plans that are subject to Ark. Code Ann. § 23-99-417 to update coverage for eligible charges for prosthetic and orthotic devices and services to no less than eighty percent (80%) of the Medicare allowable rates for such devices and services as of January 1 of each year in which the health benefit plan is issued or renewed. The current statutory requirement in Ark. Code Ann. § 23-99-417(a)(1) ties the coverage requirements for such devices and services to January 1, 2009 CMS Medicare coverage amounts under its Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (“CPT”). The Commissioner intends in this Rule to establish the requirement that such coverage at least equal eighty-percent (80%) of CMS CPT allowable amounts as established by CMS as of January 1 of each year in which the health benefit plan is issued or renewed, rather than promulgating an amendment to this Rule each year to require the adjustment.
