La Leche League

La Leche League Leaders are available to anyone needing information and support regardless of your availability to attend meetings. Please feel free to contact the leader closest to your location. Click Here

Medicaid Benefits

Try to avoid Crisis Pregnancy Centers, as they are forceful in promoting Adoption. I recommend, if you need to use their service, write you real name (because otherwise their verification for medicaid will not hold up) and do not put down Your Address or Your Phone Number.

Here are free medical centers

LaMoms Applying for Medicaid

The LaMOMS program is an expansion of Medicaid coverage for pregnant women with an income up to 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Level. Through this program, pregnant women of working families, either married or single, have access to no-cost health care coverage. Medicaid will pay for pregnancy-related services, delivery and care up to 60 days after the pregnancy ends including doctor visits, lab work/tests, prescription medicines and hospital care.

Research shows that fewer low birth weight babies are born to teen moms who have Medicaid or LaCHIP coverage than to teen moms who lack any type of health insurance. Access to proper pre-natal care is crucial to improving health outcomes of our citizens.

Attention: Each year on April 1, the income guidelines for LaMOMS increase. The new LaMOMS application is now online here. You can view the updated income guidelines here.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides monthly benefits that help eligible low-income households buy the food they need for good health. For most households, SNAP funds account for only a portion of their food budgets; they must also use their own funds to buy enough food to last throughout the month. Eligible households can receive food assistance through regular SNAP or through the Louisiana Combined Application Project (LaCAP).

For more information on SNAP and other services available through the Office of Family Support, call 1-888-LAHELPU (1-888-524-3578).
