Medicaid

The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH), Bureau of Health Services Financing (BHSF) is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for qualified proposers to provide Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V) services for Medicaid Enterprise solutions.

The Department is now evaluating two interim projects to help reduce fraud and improve billing processes. The fust project is a system to further ensure home-based services are not billed concurrently with center-based services, and the second will better integrate the Department's efforts with EVV mechanisms already in use by some providers.

RFI for Specialized Behavioral Health and Medicaid Waiver Services Released

The Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH) extended the discontinuation date of the Louisiana Health Insurance Premium Payment (LaHIPP) program Monday, moving the date from July 1 to Dec. 1, 2015.

The Louisiana Health Care Quality Forum and the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH) announced the formation of a Consumer Advisory Council today that will engage Louisiana residents in the use of health information technology (IT) to improve health and health care quality in the state.

The purpose of this RFP is to solicit proposals from qualified proposers that provide technical support for the State Supplemental Rebate Program and Preferred Drug List Management Services and Supplies.

The purpose of this RFP is to solicit proposals from vendors to design, implement, and maintain a core Enterprise Architecture (EA) for the Office of Technology Services and to provide on-going operational governance of the proposed solution. While the proposed solution will serve initially as the technical infrastructure for the modernization of the Department of Health and Hospital’s core Medicaid functions, proposers should also frame their solution as part of a wider-scale, statewide initiative to consolidate IT infrastructures and assets. The State anticipates the incorporation of other agency programs into the architecture, such as the modernization of the Child Welfare system, TANF, SNAP, and child support systems, in the relative near future after implementation.

Optional State Supplement (OSS) payments were issued for February 2015 without the associated remittance information.
