Creates provisions relating to services for persons with disabilities

HB 2971 requires Missouri's MO HealthNet division to create a public dashboard for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities (or their caregivers) to track application, review, and waiver status. It mandates a filterable provider directory for durable medical equipment, plain-language communications about waitlists, and quarterly guidance for case management entities. The bill also establishes a reporting system for incorrect waitlist information, with escalating penalties for repeated errors by service providers. These changes directly affect people seeking disability services through MO HealthNet and their families.
