Provider Enrollment Update

Effective September 16, 2026, the Missouri Department of Social Services announced that responsibility for provider enrollment activities is transferring from the Missouri Medicaid Audit and Compliance Division (MMAC) to the MO HealthNet Division (MHD). The stated rationale is to streamline and improve coordination of provider enrollment activities while allowing MMAC to refocus its resources on compliance, fraud, waste, and abuse functions. MHD will update websites, forms, notices, email addresses, and other contact information as part of the transition. The agency characterizes these changes as minimal, consisting primarily of substituting references to "MMAC Provider Enrollment" with "MHD Provider Enrollment." The notice instructs providers to continue following current provider enrollment requirements and procedures without interruption. Applications or updates already submitted to MMAC will continue to be processed as usual, and the agency states providers should experience no break in service.
