Arkansas Code Title 4. Business and Commercial Law § 4-88-117. Durable medical equipment

(a) As used in this section, “durable medical equipment” means a good that qualifies for insurance reimbursement and requires a referral or prescription of a licensed physician or a licensed advanced practice registered nurse.

(b) A person shall not represent or advertise that a consumer's health insurance, health benefit plan, Medicare, or Medicaid will cover any portion of the cost of durable medical equipment unless a licensed physician or a licensed advanced practice registered nurse has made a referral for or prescribed the durable medical equipment for the consumer before an agreement to purchase durable medical equipment is executed between a consumer and seller of the durable medical equipment.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this section, a provision in an agreement to purchase durable medical equipment does not violate this section if the consumer has signed a conspicuous waiver that contains no other information or agreements and clearly states that the consumer understands that Medicare, Medicaid, a health benefit plan, a health insurance plan, or any other insurance plan may only cover the cost of the durable medical equipment upon approval by the consumer's licensed physician or licensed advanced practice registered nurse.
