Missouri is split between two separate Blue Cross licensees: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City (Blue KC) serves 30 counties in northwest Missouri and the greater KC metro, while Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield covers the remaining 84 counties, including St. Louis, Columbia, and Springfield. Each plan maintains independent claims clearinghouse routes, fee schedules, and precertification rules.
Following Medicaid expansion under Constitutional Amendment 2, MO HealthNet delivers care through three contracted Managed Care Organizations: Healthy Blue, Home State Health (Centene), and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. Practices must maintain active provider enrollment with MO HealthNet while coordinating individual MCO contracts.
Medicare Part A and Part B claims across Missouri are administered by WPS GHA Jurisdiction 5 (which also covers Iowa, Kansas, and Nebraska). WPS enforces strict Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs) on minor outpatient surgical procedures, psychiatric diagnostic evaluations, and specialty injections.
Under Missouri Revised Statutes § 376.383, health carriers must pay clean electronic claims within 15 working days and clean paper claims within 45 working days. Overdue claims accrue statutory interest of 1% per month. Our automated claims tracking system verifies prompt adjudication and recovers penalty interest.

| Mo. Rev. Stat. § 376.383 | Allowing clean electronic claims to languish past 15 working days without claiming 1% monthly interest. | We monitor electronic remittance timelines and collect prompt pay interest on delayed carrier payments. |
