Medicaid paperwork problems continue to cost thousands of Missourians coverage
Over 333,000 Missourians lost Medicaid coverage from January 2025 through February 2026, with 91.9% of terminations due to paperwork issues rather than ineligibility. New federal Medicaid rules and Missouri's implementation of work requirements and twice-yearly eligibility checks raise concerns about further coverage losses, particularly for medically frail individuals like cancer patients.
