January 20, 2023 Medicaid Members Can Change Health Plans through March 31, 2023

Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Jan 20, 2023 - Louisiana Medicaid members can continue to make changes to their health plan and dental plan coverage until March 31, 2023.

In late October, letters were mailed to Medicaid members explaining possible changes to their health plan coverage and how to make changes. Health plan changes made through auto assignment or requested by members were effective on January 1, 2023.

However, members still have the opportunity to make changes to their health or dental plans any time until 6 p.m. on March 31, 2023. After March 31, 2023, a member may only change their health plan or dental plan if they have a special reason. They can also change their health plan or dental plan at the next Open Enrollment.

See below for deadlines to make changes and start dates:

Members can change their health or dental plan by visiting the Healthy Louisiana website (myplan.healthy.la.gov); using the Healthy Louisiana mobile app; calling 1-855-229-6848; or completing the paper enrollment form that was mailed to members and following the directions on the form to return it.
