Alert for Medicaid recipients who do not receive Social Security or SSI.

1)      Have you received any communications recently from the state that have the words MO HealthNet Adverse Action Notice at the top?
2)      If you have received the letter, you MUST take it to the FSD office in your area (preferably) or if you cannot take it to an office, you must call 855-373-4636.
3)      If you have NOT received the letter, watch your mail for a letter from the state with the words MO HealthNet Adverse Action Notice at the top and as soon as you get it, take it to an FSD office to get it corrected.
4)      There is nothing that you as a consumer have done wrong. The state is merely needing you to complete a Medical Review to verify that you still have a disability. Anyone with SSDI or pending SSDI (who do not also have Social Security or SSI) are getting the letter, not just you. Even if you recently completed a medical review, if you get the letter, you MUST go to visit an FSD office to take care of it.
5)      If you get the letter and you do not follow-through on it within the timeframe listed on the letter, your Medicaid WILL be terminated.
6)      As long as you visit the FSD office or call and ask for a review/hearing by the date listed in the letter, you will be able to continue your Medicaid at the same level until the hearing/review process is done.
