CE Rosters Must Be Filed Electronically in Arkansas Beginning Nov. 15

The Arkansas Insurance Department announced changes to its system for filing of continuing education hours by CE providers.

The new program (LEO) allows providers to electronically file completions with the department by downloading a batch file or individual input of a completion record. The department said the new system allows for “real time” validation against the departmental files for the name and license number of the licensee.

The cost of filing is $1.00 for the course and $1.00 for each individual listed on the roster. Payments will be made directly to LEO. The CE provider can pass the cost of electronic filing to the licensee.

The department will manually key in all records received prior to Nov. 15, 2010, but on or after that date, CE completion rosters must be filed electronically. CE providers are required to continue sending the department copies of the rosters for review and audit.
