About Medicaid

Medicaid provides medical benefits to low-income individuals and families. Although the federal government establishes the general rules for Medicaid, specific requirements are established by each state. In Louisiana, over a million residents receive health care coverage through Medicaid, most of whom are children under 19. The Louisiana Medicaid Program operates within the Louisiana Department of Health.

Application Centers

Providing services to your community is vital to your facility and it is the goal of the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH). In 1992, LDH began recruiting and approving facilities statewide to become Application Centers for the task of assisting applicants with Medicaid applications. Application Centers make the Medicaid process more accessible to every citizen of Louisiana.
