Eligibility:
Any person with cerebral palsy living in the state of Louisiana qualifies for the services provided by Cerebral Palsy of Louisiana. However, the organization does not duplicate services provided by another program for which the client qualifies (for example, Medicare /Medicaid  orSSI). In addition, C.P.of LA does not pay for any services covered by a client's insurance or any portion of a client's insurance deductible.  The organization will help pay for services not covered by a client's insurance company. We are a third party and try to catch clients who fall through the services safety net.
