St. Louis, MO estate & probate attorney Nikki Mitchell explains why you should hire a lawyer to help you deal with MO HealthNet. She explains that MO HealthNet is Missouri’s Medicaid program, and one of the biggest challenges many clients face when trying to navigate it on their own is its complexity. There are numerous programs under the MO HealthNet umbrella, each with its own rules and eligibility requirements. For someone unfamiliar with the system, simply figuring out which programs exist and which ones they might qualify for can be overwhelming.

When clients work with an attorney who understands those rules and eligibility limits, the process becomes far more manageable. She and her team not only help clients identify the right programs but also guide them through the steps to actually qualify and enroll. Since most clients are already under significant stress when seeking this kind of assistance, she finds that having a knowledgeable advocate to answer questions and handle the details can greatly reduce that anxiety—making the path to program eligibility smoother and less daunting.
