Urgent: Update Medicaid Contact Info or Risk Getting Kicked Off
Medicaid recipients are urged to stay vigilant as Louisiana Medicaid begins eligibility reviews this month. During the COVID-19 health emergency, eligibility requirements for Medicaid were changed due to the Families First Coronavirus Response Act. If your Medicaid coverage was extended due to the health emergency, your eligibility will be reevaluated. If you’re a Medicaid recipient, keep your contact information up to date with Medicaid and monitor your mail for important information regarding renewals.
If you have questions or need further assistance, contact Louisiana Medicaid at 1-888-342-6207. Click here to view a directory of Medicaid regional offices.
