About the Louisiana home health agency license
End-to-end support for a Louisiana home health agency license, regulated by LDH’s Health Standards Section (LAC 48:I Chapter 91; 42 CFR Part 484; RS 40:2116.32). A Louisiana home health agency delivers physician-ordered skilled nursing plus at least one of physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, medical social services or home health aide services.
What’s included in your Louisiana home health agency package
- License application with the Louisiana Emergency Preparedness Addendum, a built-in, hurricane-driven requirement.
- Financial-capacity package regulators expect: documentation toward a line of credit of at least $75,000 and liability insurance of at least $300,000, with LDH named as certificate holder.
- Administrator and Director of Nursing qualification documentation, plus owner/administrator background checks and ownership disclosures.
- Policies & procedures built to Louisiana standards and the federal Conditions of Participation, with accreditation-deeming (CHAP/ACHC/Joint Commission) guidance.

Indicative timeline: varies with HSS processing and your route. Louisiana law (RS 40:2116.32) has long restricted new home health agency licenses. For many buyers, the practical way to hold a Louisiana home health agency license is a Change of Ownership (CHOW) of an existing licensed agency. That typically takes three to six months once a target agency is identified, and we confirm which route fits you before you commit.
New Medicare enrollment is paused nationwide until at least November 2026, so we prepare you to enroll the moment it reopens. Fees and timelines change, so we confirm current figures with LDH Health Standards and CMS as part of your project.
