At the beginning of each academic year, the Graduate Medical Education office contacts the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH) and requests a Medicaid Provider Number for all enrolled House Officers.  Medicaid Provider Numbers are required for any physician writing prescriptions for patients enrolled in Louisiana Medicaid.  (Prescriptions are denied at the pharmacy when written by a physician without a Medicaid Prescriber Number.)
