flag Missouri could save $152M–$258M yearly by replacing private Medicaid insurers with a simpler, direct payment system.

flag Missouri could save $152 million to $258 million annually by ending contracts with private insurance companies managing its Medicaid program, according to a new analysis. flag Switching to an enhanced fee-for-service model, like Connecticut’s, could cut administrative costs from 13% to 4–6% without requiring major state staffing increases. flag This change could improve access to care and health outcomes while avoiding cuts to benefits, enrollment, or provider payments—options that could harm vulnerable populations and strain rural healthcare. flag Removing insurance middlemen may offer a sustainable solution amid federal funding pressures.
