Managed Care Policies & Procedures

COVID-19 Update: Changes to Medicaid policy and procedure deemed of an imminent peril to the public health, safety, or welfare and requiring immediate approval, such as those related to COVID-19, are exempt from the legislative requirement to publish the proposed policy or procedure for public comment prior to implementation. To keep abreast of these exempted changes to policy and procedure related to COVID-19, refer to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Medicaid Information website. Here you will find guidance to Medicaid providers, guidance for MCOs via Health Plan Advisories, emergency rules and requests the Department has submitted to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Broader information related to COVID-19 can be found at http://ldh.la.gov/Coronavirus/.
