Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

Date: 08/15/24

Louisiana Medicaid is seeking your assistance in connecting your
pregnant and postpartum Medicaid patients and their families to resources that support their health and well-being. Help your patients connect to these vital services by including WIC information during consultation and  encouraging members to visit louisianawic.org to learn more about the program, its many benefits, and how to apply.

This federally funded program provides more than just formula for babies. It covers pregnant and postpartum women, and children through the age of four. WIC offers a range of benefits and services including healthy foods, nutrition education, and referrals to other health and social services.

From pregnancy to children's early years, the WIC program can provide healthy foods, breastfeeding support, and other nutrition resources. Pregnant, postpartum women, infants, and children through age 4 can qualify.

Medicaid members already meet the income requirements for WIC!
