BCBSLA commands more than 65% of the commercial insured market across Louisiana. Practices must meticulously manage BCBSLA proprietary medical policies, preferred provider networks, and precertification guidelines. Any credentialing lapse or incorrect fee schedule assignment with BCBSLA instantly imperils practice revenue.
Louisiana Medicaid delivers services through Healthy Louisiana, contracting with six MCOs: Louisiana Healthcare Connections (Centene), Healthy Blue, AmeriHealth Caritas Louisiana, Aetna Better Health, Humana Healthy Horizons, and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. Tracking MCO-specific claim edit logic and EPSDT screening guidelines is essential.
Louisiana shares Novitas Jurisdiction H with Arkansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Novitas strictly enforces Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs) on minor surgical procedures, skin substitutes, diagnostic imaging, and evaluation and management coding thresholds.
Louisiana law mandates that insurers pay clean electronic claims within 25 days and paper claims within 45 days. Insurers that fail to meet these deadlines must pay statutory interest penalties up to 12% annually. Our RCM team actively tracks clearinghouse acceptance dates to enforce compliance.
