Healthy Louisiana Reentry 1115 Demonstration Waiver Posted for Public Comment

The Louisiana Department of Health is planning to submit an application to CMS for an 1115 demonstration waiver to improve care transitions for Medicaid-eligible individuals who are incarcerated and to provide certain covered services during the 90-day pre-release period. LDH is partnering with the Department of Public Safety and Corrections on this demonstration. Those participating in the demonstration will have access to services including but not limited to case management, medication-assisted treatment and counseling for substance use disorders, and a 30-day supply of all prescription medications. Eligible carceral settings will include all state prison facilities and up to 13 parish jails.
