Your coverage can start as early as three months before the month you apply. This is if you meet all eligibility rules. For example, if you need to see the doctor, you shouldn’t wait to do so — even if you’re waiting for coverage approval. If it’s approved, we’ll cover that doctor visit.

 

You’ll get a welcome packet in the mail after approval of your application. The next step is choosing Aetna Better Health of Louisiana as your health care plan. 

 

If you’re under a provider’s care when you join, let us know. We’ll work with you and your provider to make sure you keep getting the care you need.
