Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Participant Need to Have Their Medicaid ID Card at the Appointment?
No, as long as you can verify who the person is and that they have Medicaid coverage, they can receive care. If a participant needs to request a new card or make any changes to their information, they can visit the Family Support Division.
What Should I Do if My Patient Says They Have Medicaid Coverage, but eMOMED Shows Them as Inactive?
Contact MO HealthNet Provider Communications (573-751-2896) to verify the participants coverage. The participant may have Spend Down or other recent changes to their account. Always confirm with MO HealthNet if you are unsure. Participant should contact their local Family Support Office or the Family Support Division for information about their Medicaid coverage.
How Often Do Participants Change Plans?
Not often, but it happens, so be sure to verify eligibility on the date of service so that you know which plan to bill. It is the provider's responsibility to verify Medicaid coverage on the date of service. Participants can change Managed Care plans at any time.
