The bill enacts Subpart F of Part VI-A of Chapter 3 of Title 46 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, specifically R.S. 46:440.21, which focuses on Medicaid program integrity measures. It establishes a framework for verifying ongoing eligibility for Medicaid, emphasizing the importance of protecting public benefits for those truly in need while preventing waste and fraud. The Louisiana Department of Health is tasked with implementing various measures, including not accepting eligibility determinations from certain exchanges without independent verification, limiting reliance on ex parte renewals, and utilizing technology and data sharing to confirm income and residency.

Additionally, the bill mandates the Louisiana Department of Health to enter into data matching agreements with other state agencies to monitor changes in circumstances that may affect Medicaid eligibility, such as employment status and residency. It also requires the department to publish quarterly data on noncompliance and fraud investigations related to Medicaid. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without a signature, ensuring timely implementation of these integrity measures.
