Certain services must be provided in one of the Access Health Louisiana offices. Any initial assessments or psychological testing must be done on-site. In the early stages of evaluating and diagnosing your condition, your provider needs to see you in person.  This allows your provider to observe your overall health and behaviors. It’s also a good way for you to begin to develop your relationship.

While most commercial insurances, Medicaid and Medicare are accepted, patients are never turned away for care due to their inability to pay.  A discount sliding fee scale is offered based on a patient’s household size and income.

Another benefit of being an AHL patient is that you can apply for Medicaid benefits right on site (click here to see if you qualify for Medicaid). Patients can also purchase prescription medications at a reduced rate through our discount pharmacy program. Most prescriptions can be filled at convenient local pharmacies right where you live.
