How we deliver.

Seersucker Strategies is one of the top healthcare lobbyist firms in Louisiana and brings elite expertise as a Medicaid reimbursement consultant in Louisiana — covering coverage strategy, state plan amendments, rate advocacy, and enforcement.

Where our Healthcare Practice Management & Strategic Planning practice is operations-focused, this pillar is policy-focused: state Medicaid coverage decisions, Louisiana Department of Health rulemaking, board and licensing pathways, and the legislative levers that move rates, scope of practice, and program access.

Where we win for clients

  • Louisiana Medicaid coverage — state plan amendments, waiver strategy, bulletins, medical necessity criteria
  • Rate advocacy — fee schedule work, ACR-level reimbursement improvements, budget-cycle rate protection
  • Managed care organization strategy — MCO contract posture, appeals, and enforcement escalations
  • Licensing & scope of practice — Board of Medicine, Board of Nursing, Board of Pharmacy, LADS, DOI
  • Corporate practice of medicine and telehealth structuring for out-of-state operators entering Louisiana
  • Behavioral health & SUD — rate parity, provider-need protection, ASAM-level policy work
  • Trade association partnership — LHA, LSMS, LPMA, LADS, and specialty medical societies

Who we work with

  • Hospitals and health systems
  • Group practices, ASCs, and behavioral health providers
  • Healthcare technology and AI companies bringing products to U.S. clinical care
  • Trade associations advocating on reimbursement, licensure, and quality issues

Louisiana is our home base. Clients across the U.S. work with us because we speak Louisiana Medicaid, LDH, and provider adoption fluently.
