LDH Announces Rate Study Mini Summit

The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) is asking people to help shape how new funding for Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) will be used.

During the 2026 Legislative Session, the Louisiana Legislature approved some funding to increase Medicaid reimbursement rates for HCBS. Now, LDH wants to hear from people with disabilities, family members, providers, support coordinators, and other stakeholders before deciding how the funding will be distributed.

A Rate Study Mini-Summit will be held:

Date: Monday, June 29, 2026
Time: 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

In Person:
Bienville Building, Room 118

This meeting is an opportunity to share your thoughts on how the new HCBS rate increase funding should be used to better support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and people with adult-onset disabilities.

Your voice matters. If you receive HCBS services, provide services, support someone who does, or advocate for people with disabilities, consider attending and sharing your input.
