Summary
Louisiana Medicaid has published the PMPM (Per Member Per Month) payment schedule for State Fiscal Year 2026 (July 2025 - June 2026), detailing specific dates for managed care organization payments, adjustments, and recoveries. The schedule includes implementation of Same Day ACH processing effective March 18, 2025, which may cause payment timing variations throughout business days.
Action Required
By July 1, 2025: Billing teams working with Louisiana Medicaid MCO plans should update their payment tracking systems with the new PMPM payment schedule dates for SFY2026. Finance teams must adjust cash flow expectations due to Same Day ACH processing which may cause payment delays if federal funds are not received by distribution dates. Monitor payment posting throughout business days rather than at fixed times.
