Contact Arkansas DDS Intake and Referral

Step by step

  1. Ask DDS or the PASSE care coordinator to state each current layer separately.
  2. Complete only the Medicaid, assessment, or waiver step requested by its official owner.
  3. Request written status, decision, authorization, or next-event proof.

Expected next

Clinical decision, waitlist status, assessment, tier result, PASSE event, slot offer, PCSP event, notice, or next step.

Save this proof

If this stalls or the answer is no
