Magnolia Pediatrics

Magnolia Pediatrics Our purpose is to provide you and your children with more than just health care. Our primary concern is the health and welfare of your children. Not us.
(232)

We understand that getting well and staying well means caring for the whole person, not just the ailment. That’s why you won’t ever see us in white coats. Studies have shown that children are intimidated and sometimes frightened by doctors in white coats. Other pediatricians put sick children in a waiting room with well children. If your child is well, we make sure they stay that way by having two separate waiting rooms. One for sick children and one for those who just need a check-up. If you'd like to schedule an appointment, please give as a call @ 225-744-4484

Please help us wish Brandy a very Happy Birthday!

ALL MAGNOLIA PEDIATRIC PATIENTS WITH A MEDICAID PLAN. UHC MEDICAID IS NO LONGER BEING OFFERED BY THE STATE OF LOUISIANA. THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE ENROLLMENT PERIOD TO SWITCH. WE WILL ONLY BE ACCEPTING AETNA BETTER HEALTH (MEDICAID) AFTER 3/31/2026.
If you have an appointment scheduled after 3/31 and have been enrolled in a different plan other than Aetna Better Health, we will not be able to see you. Please be proactive and get your plan switched over now.

The UnitedHealthcare health plan will not be available to Medicaid members beginning April 1, 2026. If UnitedHealthcare is your current plan, you will need to move to a new health plan before that date.

These changes do not impact any Medicaid members’ eligibility.

Health Plan Choice

UnitedHealthcare members have options when it comes to choosing their new plan.

Take no action, and Louisiana Medicaid will assign you to a new health plan. Every attempt will be made to:
keep families together in the same health plan, and
keep members in a health plan that will allow them to see their same doctor.
Choose your new health plan.
Current UnitedHealthcare members will have a special enrollment period from January 15, 2026, to February 15, 2026.
During this time, UnitedHealthcare members can choose their new health plan. To learn about the other health plans, view a comparison chart online.
During the special enrollment period, UnitedHealthcare members can choose their new plan using the options below:
By phone: 1-855-229-6848, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Online: myplan.healthy.la.gov.
Through the Healthy Louisiana app, available on Google Play or the App Store.
All UnitedHealthcare members will stay with UnitedHealthcare until 11:59 p.m. on March 31, 2026. On April 1, 2026, they will be moved to their new health plan.

Medicaid members currently on UnitedHealthcare will be moved to a new Medicaid health plan by April 1, 2026.

Medicaid Update!
Magnolia Pediatrics and the providers are officially credentialed with Aetna Better Health but are currently being loaded into the system. If you attempt to switch over online and are not seeing your primary provider, know that they should be showing up soon. I spoke with the Aetna representative today.

Update on UHC Medicaid changes.
It looks like the State has given an extension to UHC, realizing that the timeline of switching so many patients would be rushed. The state will automatically switch patients to different plans January 1, 2026. Some patients may automatically be switched to Aetna Better Health. We are being told to check back with your insurance company after January 5th to change plans to Aetna if you were switched to a different plan.

Merry Christmas season to all of you!
