Summary
Louisiana Medicaid has issued a revised policy on Pediatric Day Health Care (PDHC) for children birth to 21 years with complex medical conditions requiring skilled nursing and therapeutic services. This is a policy clarification/update but lacks specific billing code changes, prior authorization modifications, or effective date information in the summary provided.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team should access the full policy document (not summary-only) from the source URL to identify specific billing codes, prior authorization requirements, and documentation standards for PDHC services. Contact Louisiana Medicaid directly to confirm effective date and any retroactive application. Do not bill PDHC services until full policy details are reviewed. Update provider education materials once complete policy is available.
