From: Louisiana Board Of Examiners For Speech-language Pathology And Audiology

Good Morning,

I am in receipt of your public records request. Unfortunately, most of the information that you have requested, the Board does not keep, such as the NPI number, Medicaid number, provider specialty, and specialty location. While the Board does have record of each individual’s education, this is not something that we have in a report that can be distributed/pulled.

Next week, we will send you a list of the information we can provide that is readily available, which includes speech-language pathology and audiology license names, license types, and license numbers. The Board’s Assistant is out of the office this week, but will send it as soon as she is back.

Thank you,
