Missouri’s share of children being disenrolled from Medicaid is third-highest among the states that report age breakouts. Nearly 40,000 kids total lost coverage — mostly for paperwork reasons — and it's not yet clear how many were able to cycle back or move to another program.
Another 12,833 children were removed from the state’s Medicaid program in August — more than three-quarters of whom were terminated because of paperwork issues rather than being determined ineligible.
August was the third month of the state reassessing the eligibility of every Medicaid participant, after a three year COVID-era pause on the practice. The process will take place over a year.
Around one-quarter of the state’s population is enrolled in Medicaid, the government health insurance program for low-income residents, called MO HealthNet in Missouri.
According to newly-released data from Missouri’s Department of Social Services, nearly half — 49% — of all terminations from June through August were terminations of children’s Medicaid coverage.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I've been dealing with this for my grandson... his Dad died when he was 5 & has lived with us ever since. I've always handled the paperwork promptly... but I never received any. I discovered it when I had ordered his Rx's & there was an unbelievable price. After two weeks... I'm hopeful I've submitted what they need.
