You can change your Healthy Louisiana plan after the first 90 days for certain reasons. These reasons might be that your plan changed the services you need, or you can’t get the kind of care you need.

You can only change plans by phone after the first 90 days. You’ll need to call Healthy Louisiana at 1-855-229-6848 (TTY: 1-855-526-3346) and ask for a transfer form.
