Making the neighborhood a better place.

Starting January 1, 2027, Missouri Medicaid will undergo significant changes that could affect thousands of residents across the state. If you or someone in your family relies on Medicaid for healthcare coverage, now is the time to understand what’s changing and how to prepare.

To help the community navigate these updates, local organizations are hosting a free town hall meeting where you can learn directly from experts, ask questions, and better understand your options.

What Changes Are Coming to Missouri Medicaid?

Beginning in 2027, Missouri Medicaid will introduce several important policy changes, including:

  • New work requirements for some recipients
  • More frequent eligibility reviews
  • Changes to retroactive coverage

These updates may impact whether you qualify for benefits and how your coverage is maintained throughout the year.
