Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) is reevaluating its procedures for the auto-closure of Medicaid eligibility where it relates to renewals.  During this reevaluation period, LDH will not use the new automated system for automatically closing your Medicaid case if you have not responded to a renewal notice by the deadline.  Before LDH terminates your Medicaid benefits, whether it resumes auto-closure or otherwise, Medicaid you will receive a final closure notice with due process and appeal rights.

​

If you received a renewal or other Medicaid Notice and would like assistance in understanding the letters, info on how to renew or other concern, contact the HelpLine at 504-300-5117.
