MEVS and REVS Fast and Easy Way to Verify Medicaid Eligibility

Date: 01/04/23

Providers can verify eligibility and service limits for a Medicaid recipient using a self-service online system to check Medicaid eligibility, regardless of health plan. Web application access through www.lamedicaid.com provides eligibility verification capability as an alternative to MEVS vendor transactions and REVS (voice eligibility verification).

MEVS is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except for a short maintenance window each week. MEVS provides Medicaid providers with easy and immediate access to current Medicaid recipient eligibility information.

Providers may access recipient eligibility by using the following pieces of information

• Sixteen-digit card control number and recipient’s 8-digit birth date or social security number;
• Thirteen-digit Medicaid ID number and recipient’s 8-digit birth date or social security number;

Or any two of the following pieces of information:

• Recipient social security number;
• Recipient name;
• Recipient 8-digit birth date;

An eligibility request can be entered via the web for an individual recipient and the Medicaid eligibility profile for that individual will be returned on a web page response. To ensure the security of recipient and provider information the Provider Applications Area is a secure portal and is available to Louisiana Medicaid providers only. Instructions on how to access MEVS is available on the LDH website.
