The MO HealthNet Division (MHD) is aware of the sustained increased positivity of RSV virology in the State of Missouri outside of the regular RSV season. MHD has considered RSV prophylaxis requests starting in July 2021. Effective September 28th: participants who meet the clinical edit requirements, including age restrictions, may receive approval for up to 6 doses. This includes 1 dose for October and up to 5 doses during the regular Missouri RSV season (November thru April). Previously approved doses given from July through September are not considered to be part of the 6 doses. Missed doses during the RSV season cannot be used to extend the season, the number and duration of approved doses is determined by date of prior authorization request receipt during the RSV season. Providers with questions may call MO HealthNet at 800-392-8030.
