The MO HealthNet Division covers the cost of hospital services including inpatient and outpatient services for MO HealthNet eligible participants. An acute inpatient service is one in which the hospital expects to provide service to the member in the hospital for a 24-hour period or longer. Outpatient hospital services are those services provided to a member not admitted by the hospital as an inpatient but is registered on the hospital records as an outpatient and receives services from the hospital.
