Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 22, § 1041. Discrimination against recovered or rehabilitated alcoholics; prohibited

No insurer doing business in the state that issues an individual or group policy of hospitalization or major medical coverage shall discriminate against any person solely on the basis that he is a recovered or rehabilitated alcoholic by denial of coverage or benefits, assessment or collection of higher premiums, or cancellation of the policy. The insurer, at its own costs, may require that the person submit to reasonable medical testing to determine the diagnosis of the person as an alcoholic. This Section shall not prohibit the underwriting of health conditions which arise from alcoholism. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to individually underwritten, guaranteed renewable or renewable limited benefit supplemental health insurance policies authorized to be issued in this state or to medical benefit plans that are established under and regulated by the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  1
