Family Opportunity Act (FOA) Medicaid
Family Opportunity Act Medicaid provides health coverage to uninsured or underinsured children who have disabilities in families with too much income to qualify for regular Medicaid or LaCHIP. It also opens coverage up to children with disabilities in families with a higher income range, allowing families to buy in to the Medicaid Program.
What Does the Family Opportunity Act Medicaid Plan Cover?
Not sure if you qualify? Apply to find out.
All services available through LaCHIP are also available to the Family Opportunity Act Medicaid Plan's beneficiaries. Before a child receives a service, parents should ask the doctor or provider about limits to receiving the service or if the service needs to be “prior authorized,” which means Medicaid has to agree to pay for the service before it can be offered to a patient. Just because a service is not on the list does not mean that Medicaid will not cover it. Call the contact listed for the service group in question if a service is not listed.
