URGENT: LOUISIANA MEDICAID PROVIDER ENROLLMENT

If you file claims with Louisiana Medicaid, you must enroll in the new Medicaid Provider Enrollment Portal to continue getting reimbursed.

Enrollment is mandated by CMS and applies to any provider that provides care to Medicaid members, which includes current managed care organization (MCO) only providers, Dental Benefits Program Manager (DBPM) providers, Coordinated System of Care (CSoC) providers, existing fee-for-service providers, and any new providers enrolling for the first time.

In fall 2021, Louisiana Medicaid mailed letters to providers about this enrollment requirement. We are sending you this email because we want to make sure all of our providers complete enrollment timely. We don’t want anyone missing out on payment for services rendered.

To make things easier on you, we’ve partnered with Louisiana Medicaid for an enrollment drive from DECEMBER 1 to DECEMBER 29. During this time, we will do everything we can to help simplify the enrollment process. We will be sharing resources, training and answers to commonly asked question. And, as always, we are advocating for your concerns, and sharing those directly with Louisiana Medicaid.

Our goal is to have NPs enrolled by DECEMBER 29. Please help us achieve this goal by carving out some time this week to devote to your enrollment. A few tips:

• If you received your letter from Louisiana Medicaid, follow the instructions provided.
• If you don’t have the letter, we have provided additional information to help you log in for enrollment in the frequently asked questions, below.
• To help expedite your enrollment process, have information on hand to complete questions around disclosure of ownership. This is typically the most time consuming part of enrollment.
• If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach out to Louisiana Medicaid.
  • Web site: ldh.la.gov/medicaidproviderenrollment includes training webinars and frequently asked questions.
  • Email: LouisianaProvEnroll@gainwelltechnologies.com
  • Phone: #1-833-641-2140 (Monday – Friday, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CST)

We will continue to share information as the enrollment drive progresses. As always, please reach out to us at office@lanp.org or 225-293-7950 if we can be of assistance.
