During the COVID PHE, MO HealthNet temporarily waived the original signature requirement on Certificate of Medical Necessity Form (CMN) that requires an original signature.

The COVID PHE will expire on May 11, 2023. Effective May 12, 2023, this requirement will no longer be waived.

Certain DME requires a CMN. Original signatures are required for Fields 7 and 14. Refer to the DME Provider Manual Section 13.15.B for details on the Direct Delivery Requirements and Section 7.2 for details on the CMN process.
