I have a special needs son on Medicaid in Louisiana, How do I transfer his Medicaid to Alaska?

1. Contact your son’s current Medicaid provider in Louisiana. Let them know that you are moving to Alaska and that you would like to transfer your son’s Medicaid to Alaska.
2. Contact the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS). Let them know that you are moving to Alaska and that you would like to transfer your son’s Medicaid to Alaska.
3. Provide the DHSS with the following information:
   • Your son’s name
   • Your son’s date of birth
   • Your son’s Medicaid ID number
   • The name of your son’s current Medicaid provider in Louisiana
   • The date you are moving to Alaska
4. The DHSS will contact your son’s current Medicaid provider in Louisiana to transfer his Medicaid to Alaska.
5. The DHSS will send you a letter confirming that your son’s Medicaid has been transferred to Alaska.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

• You should transfer your son’s Medicaid as soon as possible after you move to Alaska.
• You should report any changes in your son’s income or household size to the DHSS.
• You should contact the DHSS if you have any questions about transferring your son’s Medicaid.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
