Definitions of Medicaid in Louisiana

Medicaid in Louisiana*

"Louisiana's Medicaid Program provides a complete package of medical coverage for those who qualify. However, it is not designed to help everyone with every medical expense....

The Medicaid Program works like other insurance coverage in many ways. Louisiana Medicaid pays health care providers directly for covered services, after all other medical insurances, including Medicare, have paid. Certified recipients who pay for medical expenses themselves may be reimbursed by Medicaid. "

What is Medicaid for children in Louisiana?

Children's Medicaid in Louisiana: LaCHIP

LaCHIP is a health insurance program designed to bring quality health care to currently uninsured children and youth up to the age of 19 in Louisiana. Children can qualify for coverage under LaCHIP using higher income standards than traditional Medicaid...

LaCHIP provides health care coverage for the children of Louisiana's working families with moderate and low incomes. Children must be under age 19 and not covered by health insurance. Family income cannot be more than 200 percent of the federal poverty level (about $3,675 monthly for a family of four) for the no-cost LaCHIP program."

What is CHIP?

"Originally created in 1997, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is a state and federal partnership that provides low-cost health insurance coverage for children in families who earn too much income to qualify for Medicaid but cannot afford to purchase private health insurance coverage. States have considerable flexibility to establish income eligibility rules for CHIP, but children enrolling in the program must be otherwise uninsured."

Louisiana Medicaid Waiver Programs

Medicaid Community Waivers in Louisiana

"A Medicaid Waiver is money that can pay for services for people with developmental disabilities. These services can take place in the person’s home or in the community. Both children and adults can be supported by Medicaid Waiver services.

Medicaid usually pays for doctor appointments, hospital expenses, medicine, therapy, and some adaptive equipment. The Medicaid Waiver allows for Medicaid to be used to pay for additional services. The state writes a plan that tells what kind of services will be provided under their Medicaid Waiver program. The federal government has to approve the Medicaid Waiver plan. The Medicaid Waiver dollars are part state and part federal money. "
