STEP 5
I understand that I am signing this application under penalty of perjury, which means I’ve provided true answers to all the
questions on this form to the best of my knowledge. I know that I may be subject to penalties under federal law if I provide
false or untrue information. I have permission from all of the people listed on the application to both submit their information
to the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) and receive any information about their eligibility and health coverage.
I understand that LDH is authorized to gather the information requested in this application and any supporting documentation,
including social security numbers, under the Patient Protection and Aordable Care Act (Public Law No. 111-148), as
amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Public Law No. 111-152), and the Social Security Act.
I understand that providing the requested information (including social security numbers) is voluntary. However, failing to provide
it may delay or prevent me from getting health coverage through Medicaid or any other insurance aordability program.
I understand that LDH will check the information I give them to make sure it is correct. I give LDH permission to contact any
outside source(s) necessary to check this information, process my application, determine eligibility, and otherwise operate the
Medicaid program. These outside sources may include:
- Federal agencies (such as the Internal Revenue Service,
Social Security Administration, and Department of
Homeland Security), other state agencies, and/or local
government agencies.
- Banks, nancial institutions, and consumer reporting agencies.
- Employers identied on applications for eligibility
determinations.
- Doctors or other medical providers.
- Applicants/enrollees, and authorized representatives of
applicants/enrollees.
- LDH contractors engaged to perform a function for the
Medicaid program.
- Anyone else as required or allowed by law.

should call 1-800-220-5404.
STEP 5
I give these outside sources permission to give LDH any information about me, or any person necessary for this application,
that it may request. I understand that this permission will end when this application is denied, when my Medicaid eligibility
ends, or when I submit a written statement to LDH canceling this permission, whichever comes rst. A cancellation may
prevent me from being found to be eligible for Medicaid.
I understand the social security numbers will only be used to get information from these outside sources to verify income,
make eligibility determinations, or for other purposes directly connected to the administration of the Medicaid program.
I know that I must tell Medicaid if anything changes (and is dierent than) what I wrote on this application. I can visit
www.medicaid.la.gov or call 1-888-342-6207 to report any changes. I understand that a change in my information could
aect the eligibility for member(s) of my household.
I know that under federal law, discrimination isn’t permitted on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, sexual orientation,
gender identity, or disability. I can le a complaint of discrimination by visiting www.hhs.gov/ocr/oce/le, calling the US DHHS
Regional Oce for Civil Rights at 1-800-368-1019, or writing to the LDH at PO Box 4818, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70821.
I conrm that no one applying for health insurance on this application is incarcerated (detained or jailed), and if they are that
I must report it.
Is anyone applying for coverage on this application incarcerated (detained or jailed)?
Yes 
No If yes, who is incarcerated?:
Renewal of coverage in future years
To make it easier to determine my eligibility for help paying for health coverage in future years, I agree to allow Medicaid to
use income data, including information from tax returns. Medicaid will send me a notice, let me make any changes, and I can
opt out at any time.
Yes, renew my eligibility automatically for the next (choose one):
5 years 
4 years 
3 years 
2 years 
1 year
No, don’t use information from tax returns to renew my coverage.
If anyone on this application is eligible for Medicaid
By signing and submitting this application, I understand that if anyone on this application enrolls in Medicaid, I’m giving LDH our
rights to any money owed to us by any other health insurance, legal settlement, a spouse or parent, or other third party.
I know I’ll be asked to cooperate with the agency that collects medical support from an absent parent. If I think that
cooperating to collect medical support will harm me or my children, I can tell the agency and I may not have to cooperate.
Agree  Disagree (Selecting Disagree may impact your eligibility for Medicaid.)
Estate Recovery
I understand that Estate Recovery rules require Louisiana Medicaid to recover the cost of certain Medicaid payments from
the applicant’s estate. These costs include the total amount of payments for facility services, hospital care, payments to HCBS
or PACE providers, and prescription drugs received at age 55 or older. The estate is the property owned at the time of death.
Medicaid will not make a claim against the estate while the applicant or his or her legal spouse is still living. Medicaid also will
not make a claim if the applicant has a dependent child who is under age 21, blind, or disabled. Collection may not be made if it
is not cost eective for Medicaid to do so, or if it would cause a hardship for the heirs of the estate. A hardship may exist if the
estate property is the only source of income for the heirs, if that income is limited, or if there are other convincing situations.
My right to appeal
If I think the Health Insurance Marketplace or Louisiana Medicaid has made a mistake, I can appeal its decision. To appeal means
to tell someone at the Health Insurance Marketplace or Medicaid that I think the action is wrong, and ask for a fair review of the
action. I know that I can nd out how to appeal by contacting Medicaid at 1-888-342-6207. I know that I can be represented in the
process by someone other than myself. My eligibility and other important information will be explained to me.

APPENDIX E
Choosing a Health and Dental Plan
Most people on Medicaid or LaCHIP need to choose a Health Plan as well as a Dental Plan. These plans are groups of doctors,
nurses, dentists, and other sta who work together to provide health care. You can look at information about the dierent
Health and Dental Plans at www.healthy.la.gov. If you know which Health Plan or Dental Plan you want, please choose now. If
you do not choose, and you need to be in a Health or Dental Plan, we will choose for you.
Which Plan is Right for You?
All Health Plans must oer the same medical coverage, as well as all Dental Plans. Some of the plans oer extra benets. You
can choose a dierent Health Plan and Dental Plan for each person approved for full Medicaid.
Choosing a Plan
1. When choosing a plan the rst thing to consider is if your current provider is in that plan. Contact your doctors to nd out
what plans they accept.
2. For more information about the plans you can choose, visit www.healthy.la.gov or call 1-855-229-6848.
