Missouri Medicaid Basics

Each year, Missouri Foundation for Health (MFH) releases an annual publication, Missouri Medicaid Basics, that unpacks the various moving parts of the program.

Missouri's Medicaid program (MO HealthNet) provides health insurance for low-income children and parents, adults aged 19-64, seniors aged 65+, pregnant women, and people with disabilities. Having health insurance allows Missourians to maintain their health, go to work, and take care of their families.
