What is the MO HealthNet Community Connection?
The MO HealthNet Community Connection, formerly MO HealthNet Member Forum, is an opportunity for MO HealthNet participants/members to share their opinions and speak to Department of Social Services (DSS) MO HealthNet Division (MHD) team members about the services and care they receive through either MO HealthNet or one of the Managed Care health plans.
The goals of the MO HealthNet Community Connection are to:
- Give participants/members a chance to voice any concerns and give feedback
- Educate participants/members about their health plans, benefits, and services
- Encourage open communication between MHD and participants/members
- Emphasize healthy behaviors, preventative care and wellness
Who can participate?
MO HealthNet participants can! The MO HealthNet Community Connection consists of team members from MHD, the DSS Family Support Division, representatives from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, Missouri Department of Mental Health and each of the Managed Care Health Plans; Healthy Blue, Home State Health and United Healthcare.
Most importantly, the MO HealthNet Community Connection includes MO HealthNet participants! Anyone who receives healthcare coverage through Missouri Medicaid (MO HealthNet) is considered a “MO HealthNet Participant or Member” and is welcome to become a member of the MO HealthNet Community Connection.
