SUBJECT:  MO HEALTHNET FOR THE AGED, BLIND, AND DISABLED FOR PATIENTS IN PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS

MANUAL REVISION #115
1020.015.00

 

DISCUSSION:

In the past individuals were ineligible for MO HealthNet for the Aged, Blind, and Disabled because they were residing in a private institution and receiving care:

  • Due to membership in the group operating the institution;
  • Making a lump sum payment or transfer of property or other resources in exchange for lifetime care; or
  • The institution meeting the essential needs of the participant.

Missouri 13 CSR 40-2.080 has been amended.  Individuals are no longer ineligible for these reasons.  The manual has been updated to remove these restrictions.

NECESSARY ACTION:

  • Review this memorandum with appropriate staff.
