If you file claims with Louisiana Medicaid, you must enroll in the new Medicaid Provider Enrollment Portal to continue being reimbursed. In fall 2021, Louisiana Medicaid mailed letters to providers about this enrollment requirement.
To simplify the process, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Louisiana has partnered with Louisiana Medicaid for a provider enrollment drive that will devote time to each provider type over the next few months. During this time, we will be sharing resources, training, and answers to commonly asked question. Our goal is to have each provider enroll during their designated provider week, if not sooner.
If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach out to Louisiana Medicaid.
