Summary
MO HealthNet will continue to cover Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptive (LARC) procedures even if they are rescheduled due to COVID-19 disruptions. This ensures participants can still receive coverage at the later rescheduled date.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team should verify that rescheduled LARC procedures due to COVID-19 are still being processed for coverage by MO HealthNet and contracted Managed Care Organizations. Document COVID-19 as reason for rescheduling in patient records to support continued coverage.
