NORTH LITTLE ROCK and LITTLE ROCK
Little Rock and North Little Rock are twin cities located on either side of the Arkansas River. The name “Little Rock” came from the natural river port discovered by French explorers at La Petite Roch or “the Little Rock.”
North Little Rock and Little Rock are the central cities by definition in a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), the 90th largest in the United States.
Central Arkansas has the largest concentration of limited access highways and one of the most diverse economies within the entire state; the area is a banking and business center and major manufacturing firms call Central Arkansas home.

With the state capitol located in Little Rock, serving as headquarters for almost every state agency, the state is one of the largest employers in the area. In addition, Little Rock Air Force Base is located 15 miles north of North Little Rock.

North Little Rock downtown is home to the Arkansas Twisters of the AF2 Arena Football League and the Arkansas RimRockers of the NBA D-League (both of which play at Alltel Arena). Near the arena is Dickey-Stephens Park, the new home of the Arkansas Travelers minor league baseball team.

Burns Park, one of the largest municipal parks in the United States, is located in western North Little Rock.

North Little Rock was once known as Argenta, a name currently applied specifically to downtown North Little Rock. Argenta is the Latin word for silver, as the city was originally founded as a silver mining town. The city has a rich diversity of culture, ethic groups, and heritage.

CMS Regulations Relating to Clinical Pastoral Education & Medicare Pass-Through Payments

There remains considerable confusion concerning which Clinical Pastoral Education training programs qualify to receive Medicare Payments. The leadership of the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education has not acted in a responsible manner to clear up the misunderstanding; promoted by ACPE leaders; that only ACPE accredited Doe recognized programs qualify for such payments. Clinical Pastoral Education training programs accredited by The College of Pastoral Supervision & Psychotherapy also qualify for such payments. Medicare officials do not support the ACPE only claim. We quote a response provided from the Medicare office: “The regulations cite the ACPE as an example of a national professional organization that would be sufficient as the accrediting body. However, the regulation at section 413.85(e) also specifically state that the accrediting bodies are “not limited to” the cited organizations. While programs that are accredited by the ACPE meet CMS definition of an Approved Nur
