enrollment.portal_url, enrollment.portal_name, enrollment.phone, and areas.statewide.plans are quote-gate verified against captured Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) snapshots. The health plan roster (areas.statewide.plans) is anchored to a snapshot of Healthy Louisiana's own live enrollment/plan-comparison tool (myplan.healthy.la.gov/en/compare-plans, captured 2026-07-17), which currently lists exactly five plans: Aetna Better Health of Louisiana, AmeriHealth Caritas Louisiana, Healthy Blue, Humana Healthy Horizons in Louisiana, and Louisiana Healthcare Connections. UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, which appeared in Healthy Louisiana's lineup as recently as calendar 2025, is deliberately excluded: a captured snapshot of LDH's own 'Changes to Medicaid Health Plans in 2026' page states verbatim that 'The UnitedHealthcare health plan is not available to Medicaid members beginning April 1, 2026,' and members who did not choose a replacement were reassigned by that date. One LDH page not used for the roster fact, medicaid/useful-managed-care-info (a provider contracting/handbook contact list, also captured), still listed UnitedHealthcare of Louisiana with contracting contacts as of this same capture date; this looks like a page LDH has not yet updated post-transition for provider-facing contract wind-down purposes, and was disregarded as a roster source in favor of the live member-facing enrollment tool and the explicit transition notice, both more directly on point for 'which plans can a member pick today.' geography is set to statewide: Healthy Louisiana's live plan-comparison tool presents all five plans together with no parish or region selector, LDH and independent coverage describe UnitedHealthcare's prior participation as covering 'all parishes in the state,' and Louisiana's Medicaid managed care program has operated as a single statewide program (not divided into regions like Texas or counties like New York) since its 2015 launch; this geography classification itself is not a formally quote-gated fact in this schema, so it is stated here as an independently corroborated editorial judgment rather than a cited fact. formulary_url for every plan points to LDH's own statewide Preferred Drug List (ldh.la.gov/assets/HealthyLA/Pharmacy/PDL.pdf) rather than a plan-run formulary: Louisiana is not in plans-v3-spec.md's explicit statewide-formulary state list, but independent verification (LDH's own PDL resources page) found the verbatim statement 'The PDL applies to all individuals enrolled in Louisiana Medicaid, including those covered by one of the managed care organizations (MCOs) and those in the Fee-for-Service (FFS) program' -- Louisiana in fact runs one mandatory single PDL across every MCO and FFS, so this addition to the statewide-formulary set is independently confirmed, not assumed. That PDL confirmation was not captured as a formal quote-gated fact (formulary is not a required facts[] field_path per the frozen spec) but is documented here per the task's instruction to record the finding. Per-plan member_phone numbers were cross-checked against the same live myplan.healthy.la.gov comparison tool snapshot and match the numbers on file (informal citation, consistent with TX.json/CA.json/NY.json's existing convention that only load-bearing enrollment and roster fields carry facts[] entries). Provider directory URLs, formulary URL, and extra benefits for all five plans were independently checked against each plan's own official Medicaid page but are not yet cited by a quote-gated fact, so the state as a whole stays unverified, the same standing as TX.json, CA.json, NY.json, and FL.json today. choice_window_days is left null with no fact: no captured source states an exact day count for Louisiana's initial plan-choice window precisely enough to quote, so it is left honestly unset rather than guessed.
