🚨 URGENT MEDICAID INSURANCE UPDATE 🚨

To our families with Medicaid:
The state has announced it will not renew its contract with UnitedHealthcare Community Plan (UHC). At this time, UHC is the only Medicaid plan Premier accepts.

🗓 What this means:

The state’s contract with UHC ends 12/31/25

After that date, all UHC patients will be reassigned to a new Medicaid plan unless you choose one yourself

✅ Our plan:
After careful review (including which local subspecialists accept coverage), Premier will be moving to Louisiana Healthcare Connections (LHC).

📞 What you need to do:
Please contact Medicaid to request a plan change to Louisiana Healthcare Connections.
If no action is taken, the state will automatically assign you to a random plan.

🔧 Next steps on our end:
We are actively working to become credentialed with LHC as quickly as possible to ensure there is no lapse in coverage or care for your child.

If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our office — we’re here to help you through this transition 💙

Did you know RSV is the #1 reason babies are admitted to the hospital their first year of life?

Those of us in pediatrics HATE RSV season because it can be such a terrible illness for babies. RSV in older kids and adults tends to manifest as a head cold, but in the infant population, it "likes" to drop to the lower airways and wreak havoc. It causes an illness known as bronchiolitis and symptoms may include: wheezing, poor feeding, labored breathing, fever, and a terrible cough. At its core, this is a VIRUS, so there's little we can do to treat it once a person picks it up. Infants may wheeze for days, weeks or even the entirety of the season when they pick up RSV.

🤩Enter Beyfortus!!🤩

We now have something to offer our infants their very first RSV season!! There is now an immunization which offers a type of immunity known as PASSIVE immunity to these kids. The goal is to pass off protective antibodies to infants which will cover them during their FIRST RSV season. (Think of it like a dose of breastmilk and the antibodies baby get through nursing. It won't confer lifetime immunity, but it will protect them through the season.)

This is amazing, folks. We wish we could immunize the entire community to protect our infants and elderly, but unfortunately, that's not how it goes🫤. Here's the criteria to receive the immunization:

-Infants aged birth thru 8mos of age entering their FIRST RSV season

-Children aged 8mos-19mos entering their SECOND RSV season and at increased risk of severe disease (patients with chronic lung disease, severe immunocompromise, etc)

We will be giving this shot out from October - March. It CAN be given with all other childhood vaccines, or we can arrange for a shot only visit to get it done.

As always, our Docs are always happy to talk with you about any questions you may have! This is a recommended immunization, but it is not required. Please talk with your doctor if you have any questions!

10/16/2025

Reminder!! We have our second flu clinic this Saturday morning in our Oil Center location. We have 90 kiddos scheduled already, but there are still spots available! Give us a call to get your child scheduled for their seasonal flu vaccine.🩹🩺

Our Youngsville office will be CLOSED Friday, October 10th and Monday, October 13th as some of our Docs and staff will be celebrating Fall break with their kiddos:) Our Oil Center location will be OPEN and handling all phone calls and office visits during this time. Have a great Fall Break everyone🎃
