Yes, several EIDT providers reported having children with shared custody arrangements who attend on alternating weeks. Key guidance from provider experience:

– EIDT services should be documented and billed only on days the child is actually present and receiving services — providers cannot bill for scheduled days when the child is absent.
– The child’s IFSP should reflect the actual attendance pattern and note the custody arrangement.
– Verify with the PASSE that the child is not simultaneously enrolled at another EIDT during the weeks they are away — dual EIDT enrollment is not permitted under Arkansas Medicaid.
– As long as the child is not enrolled elsewhere and continues to meet eligibility criteria, continued enrollment through periods of alternating attendance is appropriate.
– Some providers noted they document the custody schedule in the file and obtain written confirmation from both parents acknowledging the enrollment arrangement.
