What the Medicaid Changes Mean for Missouri EMS Providers
Missouri's MO HealthNet updates introduce a directed per-transport payment for government-owned ground ambulance providers effective July 1, 2025, with payments issued retroactively after six months. NEMT transports under Medicaid MCOs now use post-authorization when a Physician Certification Statement is on file. Agencies should audit billing, train staff to distinguish payer types, manage cash flow, and track costs and outcomes to adapt to a more data-driven billing future.
