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.
