Insurance enrollment & paying for care
CrescentCare can help patients with enrollment in the Medicaid, Medicare, or the federal marketplace for health insurance coverage. CrescentCare is certified with the state of Louisiana as a Medicaid Application Assistance Center. Most people who are citizens of or lawfully present in Louisiana who have an income below 138% of the Federal Poverty Level ($16,394 a year for a single person in 2017) are now eligible for Medicaid based on family income.
We provide services to all individuals regardless of income or insurance status. Cost for services will vary based on the services provided, insurance status, income and household composition and other factors. CrescentCare operates on a sliding fee scale for those below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. Ask our team for more details.
