You may have heard about a new kind of health care directive in Louisiana, called a LaPOST form. A LaPOST form is a portable medical  order that helps you keep control over medical care at the end of life. More than a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order, the form tells emergency medical personnel and other health care providers whether or not to administer CPR in the event of a medical emergency but also what kinds and locations of treatments are important to you as you approach the end of your life. A LaPOST form may be used in addition to — or instead of — a DNR order. We offer LaPOST documents for purchase and access to the online LaPOST Registry for consumers and providers. To prepare a LaPOST form for yourself or a loved one, talk to your doctor.

LaPost Electronic Registry

As of June 29, 2024, our statewide LaPOST eRegistry was disabled indefinitely, due to a discontinuation of eRegistry services with our vendor. While disappointing, we are confident in the decision to pause the LaPOST registry until we can confidently provide a user-friendly and interoperable platform for all participants.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and patience as we evaluate our options for an advance directives registry to serve the State of Louisiana.

LaPost Document Forms

The Louisiana Physician Orders for Scope of Treatment (LaPOST) Document is designed to communicate end-of-life care plans for patients with serious, advance illnesses. Completion of a LaPOST document is strictly voluntary. The LaPOST document should be completed by the patient and his/ her physician; both the patient and the physician must sign the LaPOST document in order for it to be valid.

The 8.5" x 11" (letter-sized) document is double-sided, printed on gold paper and padded for your convenience. Each pad contains 100 sheets. View a sample document here.

How to Order LaPOST Forms:

One (1) Pad Free + $10.00 S/H
Two (2) Pads Free + $18.00 S/H

We impose a surcharge 3% on credit card purchases
