Application Center Resource Library
In July 2025, Congress passed legislation that changes Medicaid rules nationwide. Requirements enacted through H.R.1 mandate that, beginning January 1, 2027, states must require certain Medicaid members to work or take part in community engagement activities and report them to keep their Medicaid coverage.
The Louisiana Medicaid Work Requirements General Toolkit has important information to help stakeholders, such as MCOs, health care providers and community organizations, inform people about Louisiana Medicaid work requirements.
The purpose of Application Centers is to provide outreach and assistance to individuals and families by interviewing and completing applications for Medicaid.
Application Centers are responsible for assuring and monitoring confidentiality, privacy, security, non-discrimination, quality standards, and adhering to Federal and State requirements. No information, in any format, that is collected during a Medicaid application interview may be shared or used by anyone other than the Louisiana Department of Health's Medicaid Program for the purposes of applying for Medicaid.
