J-LSMS 2021 | Winter

To comply with federally mandated enrollment requirements, all providers that deliver services to Louisiana Medicaid members must be enrolled through the Louisiana Medicaid Provider Enrollment Portal to continue being reimbursed. To make things easier for providers, Medicaid is partnering with provider groups and provider associations to conduct provider-specific enrollment drives with provider-specific deadlines. This calendar outlines those enrollment drives and deadlines.
