Find a Doctor

To get a list of doctors, dentists or other medical service providers in your parish who accept Medicaid, please visit our provider map page. This page will let you search for Medicaid services in your parish. If there is no doctor listed in your parish, try searching for doctors in your region or in the parishes around yours.

You can also find a listing of primary care physicians (pediatricians, family doctors, general practice doctors, etc.) on the CommunityCARE program website. All children enrolled in LaCHIP will be linked to a doctor through this program. Most children in families who qualify for traditional Medicaid are also linked to a primary care doctor through CommunityCARE. However, those families that have other private insurance coverage in addition to Medicaid are not a part of CommunityCARE, but they can still use this website as a resource for physicians who are enrolled and active in the Medicaid program.

It is important to remember that not all doctors who are active in the Medicaid program are taking new patients. Be sure to ask the doctor’s office if they are taking new Medicaid patients when you call to schedule an appointment.

You can also call 1-877-455-9955 toll-free for a listing of specialists (including dentists) in your area who are enrolled and active in the LaCHIP and Medicaid programs.
