CTF partners with Managed Care Organizations to provide prenatal care to expecting mothers receiving Missouri Medicaid

MCO webpage header

CTF is excited to partner with Healthy Blue and Show Me Healthy Kids to connect pregnant foster youth and women receiving Missouri Medicaid to necessary home visiting services.

We believe this can be achieved with a single point of entry to a statewide coordinated referral system. You can find that Coordinated Referral and Intake System at the QR code below.

Connecting Missouri’s most vulnerable mothers and babies to home visiting services will improve outcomes in health, safety, education and economic mobility.

Providers can make a referral through the Coordinated Referral & Intake System (CRIS).
