Louisiana LRC billing —
licensed work, invoiced by the hour.
La. R.S. 23:1226 puts a Licensed Professional Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor on the claim, the carrier picks who that is, and there is no fee schedule to bill against — you invoice your own rate and defend your own time. LWCC writes a great many of those checks.
The facts, before the pitch.
How billing works in Louisiana
- Who you bill
- The carrier.
- What you send
- Invoice — no fee schedule.
- The channel
- Direct; payers must accept e-bills.
- Fee basis
- No fee schedule — market rates.
- The clock
- Not a deadline we have verified for Louisiana. Ask the Louisiana Workforce Commission / LRC licensing board, and read the payer’s own contract, before you rely on a date.
The system. Voc rehab is a licensed profession; counselors are carrier-selected.
Where the rules are written. La. R.S. 23:1226.
The paperwork with its own name. Form 1008 (disputes).
Electronic billing. Payers must accept e-bills. Med Claims Pro builds the bill and the packet and files the confirmation; direct electronic submission is roadmap, not a shipped feature.
Configured for Louisiana during onboarding — see it with your caseload. Your rates, your forms, your payers and your folder names are set up in your first week, included in every plan. What is on this page is what we would configure; we have not claimed a single Louisiana customer anywhere on it.
Your week, in Louisiana’s documents.
A licensed profession, a defense-retained market, and a file that may be read in a 1008 dispute long after you closed it.
- 8:15 a.m.Labor-market survey calls. Four employers, twenty-two minutes.Four contacts, one entry each, each with the employer, the date and the result attached.
- 11:40 a.m.Transferable-skills analysis for the file.Billable time recorded as it happens, not reconstructed from your calendar on Friday.
- 2:05 p.m.Report to defense counsel, then a call with the adjuster.Two lines, two rates if you charge differently for report writing. The narrative is written once.
- 4:30 p.m.Invoice out at your own rate, itemized, with the log behind it.A receivable exists from the moment it leaves. So does the copy of what you sent.
Every one of those rows is typed once, as it happens. The daily log writes itself as you go, the weekly narrative log builds in your own Word template, a CMS-1500 fills with the right units and the right payer block where a payer wants one — and where your state bills on its own form or an invoice, the dated, timed, priced lines that go on it come off the grid, and the receivable is tracked from the moment the bill leaves. The whole chain →
In Louisiana your record is evidence before it is a bill.
Vocational testimony and Form 1008 disputes are part of this market. Which means the contact log, the dates, the sources and the hours are read by somebody whose job is to find a gap in them.
Typing the same activity into a tracker, a report and an invoice creates those gaps — three versions of one afternoon, each slightly different. One entry, three outputs, is not a convenience here. It is the reason the three documents agree.
There is no fee schedule in Louisiana, so nothing external justifies your hourly rate. Itemization does.

One check, many claimants. Whichever of these names is on the envelope, the check covers a dozen files at once. You record it once, tick the bills it pays, and anything short is flagged with the exact gap and the original form attached, ready to rebill. How that screen works.
Billing addresses and submission preferences go stale faster than any page can keep up, so we publish them only where we keep them current — today that is Ohio’s nine MCOs. Your Louisiana payers and their submission preferences get set up during onboarding, from your own files.

States that work like Louisiana
Questions, answered.
There is no fee schedule. How does the software price my work?
It does not. You set your rate; the software applies it consistently across a file, itemizes every line by date and activity, and keeps the record that justifies it. Consistency is what stops a rate argument becoming a rate reduction.
Does it help with Form 1008 disputes?
Indirectly, and that is the honest answer. It does not file anything with the OWCA. What it does is keep one version of every contact, date and hour, with the report and the invoice built from the same entries, so nothing in your file contradicts anything else in it.
Louisiana payers must accept e-bills. Do you send them?
No. Med Claims Pro produces the bill and the packet and files proof of what you sent; direct electronic submission is on our roadmap. If a carrier insists on their portal, you upload what the software produced.
Can it track defense-retained files separately from carrier referrals?
Yes — referral source is a property of the file, and every report breaks billed, paid and owed down by payer and by referral source.
Will it match my invoice format?
Yes. Templates, folders, payers and rates are configured during onboarding in your first week, included in every plan.
