If you or your family member receives Medicaid and need a high level of behavioral health services, receive developmental disability services through the waiver, or you are on the waiver wait list you should have been contacted for an Arkansas Independent Assessment (ARIA). The Department of Human Services (DHS) enrolled you as a member of Empower based on responses on the ARIA. These answers helped DHS assign you to a level – or tier – of service to meet your needs. If you were assigned a Tier 2 or 3, you were assigned to a PASSE.
