Louisiana

Medicaid issued a bulletin revising the launch date for its Medicaid Provider Enrollment Rebaseline, which means new managed care organization (MCO) credentialed providers that have not enrolled with Medicaid will receive an invitation letter to enroll through the web portal. The invitation letter will provide specific provider information along with detailed instructions needed for the enrollment process.

Also in Louisiana, Medicaid issued a revised bulletin with contact information outlining the available options to providers for pursuing resolution of issues with Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs) and the state’s fee-for-service claims processor, Gainwell Technologies. Unless explicitly notated, providers should first seek resolution with the MCO or Gainwell directly, prior to engaging the Department of Health or other third parties.
