Medicaid

The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) in partnership with Adaptation Health has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the Louisiana Medicaid Innovation Challenge. The Innovation Challenge supports Louisiana Medicaid by identifying market-ready solutions to engage members through the appropriate use of technology. The RFI has been published to identify innovative solutions to address member communication and engagement.

The Department of Health submits a detailed monthly report to the Legislature that provides a comprehensive overview of Medicaid spending. The reports include projections for future revenues and expenditures for the given state fiscal year.

Under federal legislation, current Medicaid members will not lose coverage for any reason other than death, permanently moving out of state, or requesting an end to their coverage.

Due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, the timeline for appealing Medicaid decisions has been extended. You may ask for a fair hearing up to 120 days from the date at the top of your decision letter.

The Louisiana Department of Health and Verisys Corporation have amicably agreed to cancel a contract for a Medicaid Provider Management Solution.
