Missouri program offers Medicaid recipients visits to primary care doctor

Missouri Medicaid, now renamed MO HealthNet, is offering to provide as many as 210,000 Medicaid recipients with "medical homes," a clinic or doctor's office they can rely on for their basic care. The $33 million program is aimed at Medicaid recipients who are not already covered through a managed-care program. Those eligible include virtually all people with disabilities and elderly people with low incomes who are receiving Medicaid.
