Missouri Postpartum Coverage at a Glance

Program Who it helps Key benefit Where to apply Typical timeline
MO HealthNet for Pregnant Women (MPW) Pregnant Missourians up to 196% FPL Full benefits during pregnancy + 12 months postpartum Apply Healthcare State must process within federal standards; expect up to 45 days in complex cases; call to confirm current timelines. (mydss.mo.gov)
Show‑Me Healthy Babies (SMHB – CHIP Unborn Child) If not eligible for Medicaid and income up to 300% FPL Coverage of unborn child and birth; postpartum extension rules vary; see note below Benefit Limits and program page Apply ASAP; ask hospital for Presumptive Eligibility if needed. (mydss.mo.gov)
WIC Pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding parents, infants, children <5 Food package, breast pumps, lactation support Missouri WIC Local clinics often schedule within 1–2 weeks; call TEL‑LINK 1-800-835-5465. (health.mo.gov)
NEMT Rides MO HealthNet members Free rides to covered care NEMT info Book ≥3 days ahead when possible; call for urgent trips. (mydss.mo.gov)

Note on postpartum: Missouri extended postpartum coverage to 12 months for Medicaid and CHIP when eligible on the date the pregnancy ended, effective July 7, 2023 and approved by CMS on November 14, 2023; state‑funded programs like SMHB for individuals denied MPW due to immigration status are excluded from that extension. Always confirm with FSD which category you’re in. (dssmanuals.mo.gov)

What Postpartum Health Coverage Looks Like in Missouri

Missouri law and policy now guarantee a full year of postpartum Medicaid/CHIP coverage when you were covered the day your pregnancy ended. Read the approval and state memo on CMS/HHS postpartum extension, see the Family Support Division memo IM‑105, and check Pregnancy services page for covered benefits like dental, mental health, and transportation. (cms.gov)

MO HealthNet uses income thresholds you can verify on Benefit Program Income Limits (as of 4/1/2025). For MPW, the limit is 196% of the federal poverty level (for example: $63,014/year for a family of 4); SMHB allows up to 300% FPL. Keep proof of income and ID ready, and confirm benefit levels with the table on myDSS before you apply. (mydss.mo.gov)

Missouri’s Healthy Moms, Healthy Babies initiative confirms the year‑long postpartum coverage and lists added supports (like home visiting and plan “extra benefits,” which may include doula services through managed care where available). Learn more at Healthy Moms, Healthy Babies – Healthcare, see the related state press release, and check your plan’s member benefits (Healthy Blue, Home State Health, or UnitedHealthcare) for any bonus postpartum help. (healthymomsbabies.mo.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work: If you’re told you only have 60 days postpartum, point staff to IM‑105 and CMS/HHS approval, then escalate via the MO HealthNet Constituent Services line 1-800-392-2161 on HCY page, or visit a DSS Resource Center with your documents. (dssmanuals.mo.gov)

How to Apply (and Get Approved) for Postpartum Coverage

Documents to have ready: Government ID; proof of Missouri residency; proof of income (pay stubs, award letter); due date or birth record; any private insurance information; and, if you’re applying for the baby, the birth certificate once issued via Vital Records. You can order the certificate online through VitalChek or by mail; call 573-751-6387 with questions. (health.mo.gov)

Typical timelines: Standard Medicaid decisions often fall within the federal 45‑day window; many postpartum cases move faster but call weekly to confirm status. Use DSS Map/Offices for the fax and mailing addresses if you need to resend documents, and keep your confirmation pages. (dss.mo.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work: Request a supervisor call‑back via 1-855-373-4636 on DSS Contact, ask your hospital social worker to fax verifications again, and if you sent everything and still face a gap, file for Presumptive Eligibility to keep care going while the final decision is made. (dss.mo.gov)

What MO HealthNet Covers Postpartum (and What Managed Care Adds)

You get full benefits during pregnancy and for 12 months postpartum, including medical, mental health, prescription, dental for pregnant members, and transportation. See the state’s benefit list on Pregnancy Services, learn about dental coverage on Dental – MO HealthNet, and call your plan for extras like meal deliveries and lactation supplies. (mydss.mo.gov)

Many managed care plans offer bonus supports. UnitedHealthcare lists “Mom’s Meals” after delivery and an electric breast pump benefit on UHC Community Plan — MO, Healthy Blue runs rewards for completing postpartum visits on Healthy Blue Benefits, and Home State Health highlights infant and maternal supports on Home State Health Benefits. Call your plan’s member line on your card to ask for “postpartum meal benefit,” “breast pump,” and “home visiting referral.” (stage-nocdn-uhccommunityplan.uhc.com)

Missouri’s initiative also notes that managed care may cover doula services “where available.” See the state announcement at Healthy Moms, Healthy Babies Press Release, verify with your plan benefits page, and ask your OB office if they know approved doulas. (dss.mo.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work: If a plan denies an extra benefit you see online, screenshot the page (with date), file a member appeal using the phone and address on your plan ID card, and request help from MO HealthNet Constituent Services at 1-800-392-2161 for how to escalate. (mydss.mo.gov)

Table – 2025 Income Benchmarks Moms Ask About (Missouri)

Household size MPW/Infant Medicaid (196% FPL) SMHB (CHIP Unborn) (300% FPL) Where to confirm
2 $41,454/year $63,450/year Benefit Program Income Limits (4/1/2025)
3 $52,234/year $79,950/year myDSS Income Limits
4 $63,014/year $96,450/year myDSS Income Limits

Always verify current numbers on the state chart before you apply, because annual updates hit each spring and can change thresholds mid‑year. (mydss.mo.gov)

Newborn Coverage, First Appointments, and Rides

If you were covered by Medicaid/CHIP on your baby’s date of birth, the newborn is automatically eligible from birth through the first birthday (you still must call to report the birth). Read the newborn policy at Automatic Eligibility, report the birth at 1-855-373-4636 via the Managed Care Enrollment FAQ, and book well‑baby visits using Healthy Children (periodicity). (dss.mo.gov)

For rides, book through NEMT or call MO HealthNet (1-866-269-5927). If you live rural, check OATS Transit Schedules and call your county office; Relay users can dial 711 to schedule. (mydss.mo.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work: If staff say the baby can’t be added, reference the policy above and ask for an eligibility supervisor; if still stuck, ask your pediatric clinic to help call FSD while you’re in the office, and bring proof of your coverage on the birth date. Use DSS Map for the correct fax. (dss.mo.gov)

WIC, Food, and Formula Support After Birth

WIC covers postpartum women up to six months (non‑breastfeeding) and up to one year (breastfeeding), plus infant formula when medically appropriate, breast pumps, and lactation help. Apply via Missouri WIC, call TEL‑LINK at 1-800-835-5465 from the WIC Families FAQs, and ask your clinic about pumps and peer counseling noted on the WIC Providers page. (health.mo.gov)

While you wait on WIC, apply for SNAP (food stamps) — emergency cases can receive benefits in seven days. See the 2025 allotments and deductions at USDA SNAP FY2025 COLA and keep the FSD interview number (1‑855‑823‑4908) from DSS Map. (fns.usda.gov)

If you need diapers right now, check your regional diaper bank: St. Louis Area Diaper Bank, HappyBottoms (KC) — Get Diapers, or Diaper Bank of the Ozarks; they publish locations and monthly pick‑ups. (stldiaperbank.org)

What to do if this doesn’t work: Call United Way 211 for food pantry and formula locations, ask your WIC clinic for an urgent lactation consult (many have after‑hours lines like Joplin WIC’s resources), and ask your pediatrician for formula samples only as a short‑term bridge. (joplinmo.org)

Mental Health: Postpartum Depression, Anxiety, and Emergencies

Get 24/7 maternal mental health help by calling or texting 1‑833‑TLC‑MAMA; this national hotline offers free, confidential support with interpreter services. For peer support and a therapist directory, contact Postpartum Support International (call 1‑800‑944‑4773; text 800‑944‑4773 for English or 971‑203‑7773 for Spanish). In any crisis, call 988 in Missouri to reach trained local counselors. (mchb.hrsa.gov)

Managed care plans also cover mental health treatment. Check your plan’s behavioral health benefits (see Healthy Blue, Home State Health, UHC Community Plan) and ask your OB for a warm hand‑off. If travel is a barrier, request video visits or a mobile crisis team through the 988 Missouri network. (healthybluemo.com)

What to do if this doesn’t work: If you can’t get an appointment in time, call 988 and ask for next‑day outpatient options; PSI can also connect you to local coordinators quickly at PSI Contact. (missouri988.org)

Breastfeeding Support, Pumps, and Your Workplace Rights

Ask your WIC clinic for lactation help, pumps, and peer counselors listed on WIC Providers page; many local health departments maintain after‑hours lines like Springfield‑Greene County WIC and Clay County WIC. For community groups, check La Leche League (local chapters via WIC pages). (health.mo.gov)

You have the right to pump at work: the federal PUMP Act requires reasonable break time and a private space (not a bathroom) for one year after birth. Read the rule at U.S. Department of Labor — Pump at Work, and learn about accommodations for pregnancy and postpartum under the EEOC’s Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. Missouri also affirms your right to breastfeed in public spaces under RSMo 191.918. (dol.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work: If your employer refuses pumping space or breaks, file a confidential inquiry with DOL via Pump at Work, talk to HR with a clear written request, and consider free WIC pumps and community spaces while it’s resolved. (dol.gov)

Marketplace Coverage After the Postpartum Year (or if You’re Not Eligible)

If you won’t qualify for Medicaid after your 12‑month postpartum window, you likely get a Special Enrollment Period (SEP). Having a baby qualifies you for a Marketplace SEP; learn timing and documents on Healthcare.gov SEP page and Marketplace coverage after birth. Compare against COBRA details at DOL COBRA and CMS COBRA Q&A. (healthcare.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work: If you’re denied a SEP, appeal through Healthcare.gov and ask for a casework review; keep proof of baby’s birth and any loss‑of‑coverage letters ready to upload. (healthcare.gov)

How to Stop Utility Shutoff in Missouri Today

Start with protections: the Cold Weather Rule runs Nov 1–Mar 31, and the Hot Weather Law pauses disconnections when dangerously hot. Next, apply for LIHEAP; ECIP crisis help requires a disconnect notice, while Energy Assistance is a one‑time payment — verify current max amounts on the state page before applying. Call the PSC Consumer Services line at 1‑800‑392‑4211 for disputes. (psc.mo.gov)

Ask your utility about company programs: Ameren Keeping Current/Keeping Cool, Spire DollarHelp, and Missouri American Water H2O Help to Others through community action agencies. These programs can layer with LIHEAP, but funding varies — call to confirm local availability. (ameren.com)

What to do if this doesn’t work: Call United Way 211 to find an agency that can make a same‑day pledge; ask about Ameren’s bill‑credit programs posted at Keeping Current and check if summer ECIP (June–September) or winter ECIP (Nov–May) is still open on LIHEAP page. (ameren.com)

Child Care Subsidy While You Return to Work or School

Missouri’s Child Care Subsidy helps pay for care while you work, job‑search, train, or go to school. See family eligibility at Child Care Subsidy for Families, review the 2024–2025 sliding fee chart at Rates & Sliding Fees, and note DESE updates about backlog fixes and processing timelines. If you were delayed by the system change, DESE says reviews returned to expected timelines as of March 2025. (dese.mo.gov)

For help completing the application or using the Parent Portal, call the Missouri Childhood Resource & Referral Call Center at 573‑415‑8605 on the family page, and keep receipts if you had to pay out of pocket while waiting so you can discuss back payments with your specialist. (dese.mo.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work: If your case stalls, email or call your regional office and reference DESE’s public statements about clearing the backlog found at DESE news, then ask to escalate to a supervisor; consider short‑term subsidized care options via your local community action agency. (dese.mo.gov)

Legal Papers You’ll Need Soon (Birth Certificate, SSN, Paternity)

Hospitals usually file the birth certificate within five days, but you can order certified copies at Vital Records (online via VitalChek or by mail). For private insurance, Missouri requires newborn notice within 31 days under RSMo 376.406 — call your plan immediately and add your baby. If you need to file paternity, ask the hospital for the voluntary affidavit and the child support office can help. (health.mo.gov)

To open or enforce child support, start at Apply for Child Support Services, call 1‑800‑859‑7999 from the About Child Support page, or check case status at 573‑556‑3800. The program also handles medical support orders. (dss.mo.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work: If you never received the birth certificate, call 573‑751‑6387 on Vital Records to trace the record and ask your hospital to re‑submit. For urgent support enforcement, ask for a case manager call‑back through the child support site above. (health.mo.gov)

Transportation When You Don’t Have a Car

Use Medicaid rides via NEMT (book ≥3 business days ahead when possible; urgent discharges and urgent care have exceptions), call 1‑866‑269‑5927 for straight Medicaid, or contact your plan via the phone list on the NEMT page. Rural routes are listed county‑by‑county on OATS Transit – Schedules (Relay 711 is available), and many FQHCs can help coordinate rides when they schedule your visit. (mydss.mo.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work: Ask your plan case manager for “transportation escalation,” check same‑day ride options with OATS by calling 888‑875‑6287 on OATS Contact, and if you missed an appointment due to transport, ask your clinic to annotate the no‑show as a transportation barrier. (oatstransit.org)

Home Visiting, Early Help for Baby, and Safe Sleep

If you want nurse home visits, Nurses for Newborns – Missouri offers free visits in many counties; call 314‑544‑3433 to see if your address is covered (NFN Contact). For early intervention, refer to First Steps (DESE) — How to Make a Referral or call 1‑866‑583‑2392, and ask your pediatrician about hearing screening follow‑up via Newborn Hearing (DHSS). (nursesfornewborns.org)

Missouri’s EPSDT program (called HCY) covers full well‑child screens and needed treatment up to age 21; read details at HCY – MO HealthNet and HCY provider page. Keep every well‑check appointment in your baby’s first year; these visits are free with MO HealthNet. (mydss.mo.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work: If you can’t get home visiting in your county, ask your WIC office and FQHC for local programs or Parents as Teachers offered by your school district, and use OATS or NEMT for travel to newborn checks. (parentsasteachers.org)

Reality Check – Common Delays and What They Mean

  • Eligibility systems are improving but still back up
    DESE publicly reported clearing child care subsidy backlogs by March 2025; still, expect pauses after system updates. Keep proof of when you applied and who you spoke with, and follow the escalation steps above. See DESE updates and prior backlog dashboards. (dese.mo.gov)
  • Managed care “extra benefits” aren’t guaranteed
    Program extras like meals depend on plan, region, and clinical approval. Always ask the plan to document a denial and guide you to covered alternatives; confirm benefits posted on UHC and Healthy Blue. (stage-nocdn-uhccommunityplan.uhc.com)
  • Clinic slots fill fast
    If you can’t get an appointment within the recommended 3–6 weeks postpartum window, ask for a nurse visit or telehealth check and book the next available full exam; use MPCA clinic finder and HRSA health centers to widen your options. (mo-pca.org)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Missing the birth report call
    Not calling FSD to report your baby can delay newborn enrollment; use the steps and numbers on Managed Care FAQ, and bring your hospital paperwork to your pediatric visit in case the clinic can help. (dss.mo.gov)
  • Relying on out‑of‑date 60‑day postpartum rules
    Missouri moved to 12 months postpartum in 2023; keep IM‑105 handy if someone says otherwise, and ask for a supervisor if needed. (dssmanuals.mo.gov)
  • Not asking for rides
    Many moms don’t realize NEMT rides exist; book at NEMT or call your plan, and request gas‑reimbursement if a friend drives. (mydss.mo.gov)
  • Skipping WIC because you’re not breastfeeding
    WIC helps postpartum moms who bottle‑feed too; see supports at Missouri WIC and WIC FAQs. (health.mo.gov)

FAQs (Missouri‑Specific)

  1. Do I really have 12 months of postpartum Medicaid now?
    Yes, if you were covered by MO HealthNet/CHIP on the date your pregnancy ended, you get a full year. See CMS approval and the state memo IM‑105; ask FSD to correct any 60‑day cutoff. (cms.gov)
  2. If I’m on SMHB (CHIP Unborn), do I get 12 months postpartum too?
    The CHIP/Medicaid extension applies to many covered postpartum people, but the memo notes it does not apply to SMHB cases who were denied MPW due to immigration status. Confirm your exact category with FSD. See IM‑105 and income limits. (dssmanuals.mo.gov)
  3. How do I pick a pediatrician and get the first visit set?
    Use MPCA’s health‑center map, ask your plan for a pediatric panel, and book the first visit within a few days if there were complications or within the first weeks otherwise. Rides are at NEMT. (mo-pca.org)
  4. Will Medicaid cover dental care for me postpartum?
    Pregnant participants have comprehensive dental; adult benefits are more limited after pregnancy but have expanded over time. Check Dental – MO HealthNet and ask your plan about covered postpartum dental codes. (mydss.mo.gov)
  5. Can I get a breast pump?
    Yes — ask your plan or WIC. Many plans provide an electric pump (see UHC MO plan benefits) and WIC can loan pumps (see WIC provider info). (stage-nocdn-uhccommunityplan.uhc.com)
  6. What if I miss my postpartum visit because I didn’t have child care?
    Call your OB — clinics can reschedule quickly, some offer telehealth, and managed care plans may have rewards for completing postpartum visits (see Healthy Blue Rewards). Use NEMT if transportation was the barrier. (healthybluemo.com)
  7. How do I protect my address if I’m leaving an abusive situation?
    Enroll in Safe at Home (866‑509‑1409) so agencies use a substitute address on all new records; find shelters and statewide resources on DSS Domestic Violence Services. (sos.mo.gov)
  8. Can I pump at work without being punished?
    Yes. Employers must allow pumping breaks and a private, non‑bathroom space under the PUMP Act, and pregnancy/postpartum accommodations are required by the PWFA. You can file a complaint with DOL or EEOC if needed. (dol.gov)
  9. Who can help with child care while I get back to work?
    Check eligibility and fees at Child Care Subsidy – Families, and call 573‑415‑8605 for help with your application. Expect improved processing as of early 2025 per DESE notice. (dese.mo.gov)
  10. What papers must I get for my baby right now?
    Order the birth certificate at Vital Records, notify any private insurer within 31 days per RSMo 376.406, and report the birth to FSD at 1‑855‑373‑4636 on the Managed Care FAQ to lock in newborn Medicaid. (health.mo.gov)
