AR| The Arkansas Insurance Department has released Bulletin 12-2025 to announce the draft Version 9.0.2025 of the Data Submission Guide (DSG) for the Arkansas Healthcare Transparency Initiative’s All-Payer Claims Database, replacing the previous version and opening a 30-day public comment period. The revision includes significant updates to data submission requirements, now mandating reporting of denied claims, non-claims payment data, and pharmacy rebate data, as well as introducing new data fields and making some optional fields required. The DSG will now be separated into three distinct guides for better clarity and usability, and the finalized requirements will take effect no sooner than 120 days after official posting.
Key Points:
- New requirements include reporting denied claims, non-claims payment data, and pharmacy rebate data.
- The guide is reorganized into Technical Reference, Data Submission, and Supplemental Data Submission Guides for enhanced clarity.
- Stakeholders may submit public comments through October 31, 2025, and final changes will become effective at least 120 days after posting.
