March 02, 2026 Medicaid Managed Care Annual Enrollment Period begins March 1

Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Mar 02, 2026 - Louisiana Medicaid is changing the way members choose their health and dental plans.

Effective March 1, 2026, Medicaid members may switch their health or dental plans at any time during the year without a reason. Members may make up to two (2) plan changes during a fixed annual (12-month) period. After two plan changes have been made within the annual period, members must remain in their selected plan until the start of the next annual period.

Medicaid will use the calendar year as the fixed annual period. For 2026 only, the annual period will run from March 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026. Beginning in 2027 and every year after, the annual period will be January 1 through December 31.

Members will be notified of the enrollment period and related information through www.myplan.healthy.la.gov and www.ldh.la.gov. Members who prefer to receive a physical copy of the enrollment information must request one by calling 1-855-229-6848.

Additional information about available health and dental plan options, including plan comparison charts, is available online at www.myplan.healthy.la.gov or by phone at 1-855-229-6848. Members are encouraged to review plan options carefully to select the plan that best meets their needs.
