In compliance with Revised Statute (R.S.) 37:1218.2, which authorizes pharmacists to provide services related to the initiation and dispensing of HIV post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medications, the Department of Health (LDH) issued Informational Bulletin 26-11 for Pharmacist Billing for HIV PEP/PrEP Services.
Also in Louisiana, LDH announced that Healthy Blue (HBL) will end its participation as a Louisiana Medicaid managed care organization (MCO) at the conclusion of its Medicaid managed care contract, effective December 31, 2026.
