When it comes to receiving needed health care, the Live Well Community Health Centers of Buckner, Carrollton, Concordia and Waverly have programs available to help low-income women and children gain insurance. MO HealthNet, MO HealthNet for the Aged, Blind and Disabled, Show-Me Healthy Babies, Presumptive Eligibility and Uninsured Women’s Health Services and Temp Cards for Pregnant Women are among the programs the Clinics are leveraging to help those who qualify. With the recent end of ACA Health Insurance Marketplace open enrollment, these programs are timely for women and children who need immediate health care services.

Presumptive Eligibility
Presumptive Eligibility, or PE, allows individuals who meet certain requirements to receive MO HealthNet benefits for a period of time. Eligibility under PE is temporary but allows immediate access to coverage, and provides an opportunity for individuals to get connected with longer-term coverage options. Individuals who are eligible for PE determination include pregnant women (temporary MO HealthNet during pregnancy), infants and children under age 19, CHIP for Unborn Children and Show-Me Healthy Babies. Eligibility determination is based on information provided by the applicant (applicant self-attested). Anyone who received PE in the last 12 months is not eligible.
