Common questions

How do I verify a healthcare license in Arkansas?
Verify with the Arkansas board that issued the license. This directory lists 18 Arkansas licensing lookups, including Arkansas Board of Dental Examiners, Arkansas Board of Examiners in Counseling and Marriage & Family Therapy, and Arkansas Board of Examiners Speech-Language Pathology . Pick the board for the provider's profession; each entry links to the board's own verification page.
Does Arkansas publish a Medicaid exclusion list?
Yes. Arkansas Department of Human Services Excluded Provider List is the state list. Check it alongside the federal OIG LEIE and SAM.gov, since state exclusions are not always reflected in the federal lists.
Does Arkansas require a separate controlled substance registration?
This directory does not list a separate Arkansas controlled substance registration lookup. Prescribers there operate under the federal DEA registration; confirm current requirements with the state board of pharmacy.
Where do providers enroll in Arkansas Medicaid?
Arkansas Medicaid is the state's provider enrollment portal. Medicaid enrollment is separate from commercial payer enrollment and from Medicare enrollment through PECOS.

Links go to each board or agency's own public lookup and are checked regularly. Spot something out of date? Tell us and we will fix it. Looking for payer IDs and enrollment turnarounds instead?
