Common questions

How do I verify a healthcare license in Louisiana?
Verify with the Louisiana board that issued the license. This directory lists 13 Louisiana licensing lookups, including Louisiana Board of Examiners for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, Louisiana Board of Examiners for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology - Disciplinary Actions, and Louisiana Board of Massage Therapy. Pick the board for the provider's profession; each entry links to the board's own verification page.
Does Louisiana publish a Medicaid exclusion list?
Yes. Louisiana Medicaid Exclusion List is the state list. Check it alongside the federal OIG LEIE and SAM.gov, since state exclusions are not always reflected in the federal lists.
Does Louisiana require a separate controlled substance registration?
Yes. Louisiana Controlled Substance Lookup verifies the state registration, which is required in addition to a federal DEA registration to prescribe controlled substances in Louisiana.
Where do providers enroll in Louisiana Medicaid?
Louisiana Medicaid is the state's provider enrollment portal. Medicaid enrollment is separate from commercial payer enrollment and from Medicare enrollment through PECOS.

Links go to each board or agency's own public lookup and are checked regularly. Spot something out of date? Tell us and we will fix it. Looking for payer IDs and enrollment turnarounds instead?
