RHTP Modernize Rural Healthcare Services
The Missouri Department of Social Services (DSS) has awarded approximately $39.4 million in Smart Growth and Service Line Modernization funding under Missouri’s Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP). These investments represent a significant step forward in expanding access to essential healthcare services in rural communities and will support improvements in maternal health, behavioral health, diagnostic services, outpatient care, and chronic disease management.
Clinical Advisory Council
The MO HealthNet Division (MHD) has established the Medicaid Clinical Advisory Council (CAC). The purpose of the CAC is to provide clinical expertise and guidance to MHD on matters related to MO HealthNet health and medical care services to ensure that these services meet the needs of MO HealthNet participants. The CAC may also advise MHD on broader Medicaid policy development and program administration, with the goal of improving outcomes for participants and creating a more sustainable Medicaid system.
