The impact of a stroke, head injury, spinal cord injury, or other disabling condition can be especially devastating for individuals without health insurance. Fortunately, a comprehensive system has evolved to address the needs of the indigent for medical rehabilitation services in Louisiana. The purpose of this paper is to familiarize readers with this complex system, and thereby to assist practicing physicians and other health care providers in better serving this large and medically needy population. First, state and federal medical assistance programs which cover rehabilitation services are reviewed; next, services available through Louisiana Rehabilitation Services are discussed; and finally, services available through the Handicapped Children's Services Program and various voluntary organizations are described.
