Missouri Home Care, Home Health and Hospice Policy Manuals
Missouri does not license non-medical home care. In-home services providers work under a participation agreement with the Missouri Medicaid Audit and Compliance Unit (MMAC) and follow 19 CSR 15-7. The Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) licenses home health agencies under 19 CSR 30-26.010 and certifies hospices under 19 CSR 30-35. Choose the manual for your agency. The home health and hospice manuals are also written to the federal Conditions of Participation, and every policy names the rule section it follows.

Questions about Missouri manuals
Do we need a state license for non-medical home care?
No. Missouri does not license non-medical home care. Providers of in-home services authorized by the Division of Senior and Disability Services (DSDS) work under an MMAC participation agreement and a MO HealthNet personal care participation agreement, and follow 19 CSR 15-7 and 13 CSR 70-91.010.
Is a Missouri hospice licensed?
Missouri issues a hospice certificate, not a license, under RSMo 197.250 to 197.280. The Missouri hospice manual uses that wording throughout.
