HEALTH

In Re: Louisiana Department of Health and Medical
Transportation Management, Inc., applying for

supervisory writs, 19th Judicial District Court, Parish
of East Baton Rouge, No. 755837.

BEFORE : PENZATO, WOLFE, AND HESTER, JJ.

WRIT GRANTED. The portion of the district court’s April 7,
2025 judgment denying the peremptory exceptions of no right of
action filed by defendants, Louisiana Department of Health and
Medical Transportation Management, Inc., is reversed. Plaintiff,
Taxicab Insurance Store, L.L.C., sells insurance policies to
potential and currently credentialed non-emergency medical
transportation providers under Louisiana’s Medicaid program;
however, all of the alleged harm it complains of relates to the
state’s discretionary determination whether providers have met the
minimum insurance required by the Administrative Code. see La.
R.S. 46:437.12(A) (9). Therefore, plaintiff does not belong to the
class of persons to which the law grants a right of action.
Accordingly, the exceptions of no right of action are granted, and
plaintiff’s claims are dismissed.
