About Missouri Medicaid

The rules have changed. Missouri Medicaid has expanded to cover more people. Now, more adults can get low-cost or free health insurance through Missouri Medicaid called MO HealthNet. For example, a single adult making up to $17,774 a year, or a family of 4 making up to $36,750 a year, may qualify for Medicaid through MO HealthNet.

For the first time, more adults qualify for low-cost or free health insurance through MO HealthNet. This includes parents who have not qualified before as well as childless adults. Click to learn more about Missouri Medicaid.
