Enrolling in the Louisiana Medicaid program has become faster and more efficient thanks to an online application process now available through the Department of Health and Hospitals Web site.

Louisiana citizens applying to enroll in any Medicaid program can use the online application process. This includes applying for Medicaid, LaCHIP (childrens health care coverage), LaMOMS (coverage for pregnant women), the Medicaid Purchase Plan (coverage for workers with disabilities), the Medicare Savings Program (premium assistance for Medicare recipients) and TAKE CHARGE (family planning services for women).

The online application is available by clicking here.

Once the online application is submitted, it is sent immediately to the office that will process the application. There is no delay for mailing or faxing, as might be experienced with a paper form.

A paper application can still be used for enrollment; these are available at any Medicaid office or Medicaid application center, downloading it from the Web site, or by requesting it from the toll free Medicaid hotline at 1-888-342-6207.

The online application was launched on Oct. 10, 2007. In the first ten days, 500 applications had already been filled out.

For more information on the Louisiana Medicaid program, visit www.medicaid.dhh.louisiana.gov or call the toll-free hotline at 1-888-342-6207.

John R. Schweitzer on November 5th, 2007

I want to say this is a great idea also. I do have one question if a person need to transfer from another state how would they go by doing this transaction?

My epilepsy condition is getting worse. I had to go to the emergency room last month for a seizure and that one doctor bill was over 1,000 dollars. I don't know how I lost my medicaid eligibility in January. But for whatever the reason was, I know it wasn't a good one. I DESPERATELY NEED MY MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY BACK BECAUSE I HONESTLY CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR PRESCRIPTION DRUGS AND VISITS TO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE. And one final note ever since I lost my eligibility I haven't heard from I haven't heard a thing about seeing a new neurologist to replace my old one.
