HEALTH/SICKLE CELL ANEM: Provides relative to healthcare services provided to patients with sickle cell disease (EG INCREASE GF EX See Note)

This bill requires Louisiana Medicaid to cover digital monitoring of vital signs and twenty-four-hour at-home care for patients diagnosed with sickle cell disease. Under the new rules, healthcare professionals would use digital tools to check for pain crises and recommend at-home services that include hydration, oxygenation, and medical assessments. These provisions aim to allow eligible patients to receive necessary medical treatment in their own homes rather than in a hospital setting. The changes specifically target individuals who already qualify for Medicaid benefits under federal law.
