If the USDA, who administers the SNAP program, is prepared and ready to move money into states’ accounts, we will use federal dollars to fund SNAP recipients’ accounts. If they are not ready, LDH will proceed with our state-funded program to provide food assistance to the elderly, the disabled, and households with children through their existing EBT cards.
Outstation Resource Library
Welcome to the Louisiana Medicaid Outstation Resource Library. Outstation was implemented in 2016 to give Louisiana Medicaid providers and entities the opportunity to host full time “out-stationed” Medicaid Eligibility Analyst(s) on site. Facilities can request to become an Outstation site using the Outstation Host Information feature.
How the Host Benefits

- Trusted Users will have direct contact with their Medicaid Eligibility Analyst to answer and assist with Medicaid eligibility questions.
- Trusted Users will be able to request status of pending applications that were submitted by the host site.
What LDH agrees to do:
- Based on availability, provide an experienced eligibility analyst
- Provide onboarding, training, and supervision through the Medicaid Eligibility Regional Office
- Provide equipment (computer)
- Priority processing of applications
- Address concerns in a timely manner
What the Host agrees to do:
