Full Question:
Answer:
Missouri Medicaid is now called Missouri HealthNet. You must meet certain income guidelines and other rules to become eligible for MO HealthNet. Your local Family Support Division Eligibility Specialist will make this decision for you. If you have questions about your eligibility contact your local Family Support Division Eligibility Specialist.
The Department of Social Services (DSS), MO HealthNet Division oversees the MO HealthNet program. MO HealthNet For Kids, MO HealthNet For Pregnant Women and MO HealthNet For Families participants get their care either through MO HealthNet Fee-for-Service or through MO HealthNet Managed Care. How you receive your care depends on where you live in Missouri.
MO HealthNet refers to the fee-for-service program for elderly and disabled participants.
