MO HealthNet is recruiting agencies to provide private duty nursing services through MO HealthNet’s Private Duty Nursing Program. Medicare certified and state licensed home health agencies are qualified to enroll as providers of private duty nursing services.
Private duty nursing is a service where either a registered nurse or a licensed practical nurse provides long-term, comprehensive hourly nursing care to children (under the age of 21) who receive MO HealthNet (Medicaid) benefits. These patients often have complex medical conditions that require skilled nursing care on a daily basis. Reimbursement is currently $60.80 per hour (or $15.20 per 15-minute unit). Please reference the MO HealthNet Private Duty Nursing information document and the MO HealthNet Private Duty Nursing Provider Manual for additional information regarding the Private Duty Nursing Program.
MHD accepts new applications from PDN providers at all times. Agencies interested in becoming a provider should contact Missouri Medicaid Audit and Compliance at mmac.providerenrollment@dss.mo.gov to obtain an enrollment application. Questions regarding the MO HealthNet Private Duty Nursing Program may be emailed to Ask.MHD@dss.mo.gov .
