NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Governor Jeff Landry will hold a press conference Tuesday afternoon to announce an increase in Medicaid provider reimbursement rates.

The governor will be joined by leadership from the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) at 2 p.m.

According to the governor’s office, the rate increase is made possible by new efficiencies and stronger program integrity within Louisiana’s Medicaid system, which officials say have resulted in significant savings to the state.

The announcement marks one of the most substantial reimbursement adjustments since the COVID-19 pandemic, impacting medical providers who serve Medicaid patients statewide.
