Welcome to Compass Health Home Program
At Compass Health Network, our Health Home programs are designed to support the whole person—bringing together behavioral health, primary care, and developmental disability services into one connected, compassionate approach. We understand that each individual’s health journey is unique, and our goal is to ensure every person has access to coordinated, personalized care that meets their needs, preferences, and goals.
Health Home is a free Medicaid service that surrounds you with a dedicated care team focused on your overall well-being. This team may include a nurse care manager, behavioral health specialists, care coordinators, and other specialized healthcare providers who work together—and with you—to plan, communicate, and coordinate your care. By connecting services across providers and settings, we help reduce barriers, improve health outcomes, and make navigating healthcare simpler and more supportive.
Whether you are managing a chronic condition, working toward improved mental wellness, or seeking additional support for developmental needs, Compass Health Home programs are here to help you feel supported, informed, and empowered—every step of the way.
Who is eligible for Home Health Services?
Compass Health Home programs are available to individuals who are currently receiving Medicaid (MO HealthNet) benefits and have qualifying health conditions. Health Home services are specifically designed to support individuals with ongoing or complex healthcare needs through coordinated, whole-person care.
Compass Health Network is proud to offer all three Missouri Medicaid Health Home programs:
- Behavioral Health Home
- Primary Care Health Home
- Developmental Disabilities Health Home
These programs are supported and managed by the Missouri Department of Social Services (DSS) and the Department of Mental Health (DMH), with eligibility guidelines that vary based on the program.
In general, Health Home services may be a good fit if you:
- Have a mental health condition or substance use disorder
- Are living with one or more chronic health conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, or similar ongoing health concerns)
- Have an intellectual or developmental disability and may benefit from additional health coordination and support
- Could benefit from help managing your health, navigating services, and connecting your care across multiple providers
If you’re unsure whether you qualify, our team can help review your eligibility and guide you through the enrollment process—ensuring you have access to the care and support you deserve.
What a Health Home Is Not
To help clarify, a Health Home is not a physical place or a change to your existing care—it’s an added layer of support designed around you.
- Not a place you live – A Health Home is not a house or residential program, and it will not change where you live or your current living situation.
- Not a replacement for your doctors – You will keep your primary care provider and any specialists you already see. Your Health Home team simply adds another layer of support to help coordinate your care
- Not a change to your Medicaid benefits – Health Home services are an added benefit and do not take away, replace, or reduce the services you currently receive through Medicaid
Health Benefits of Health Home Team
With the support of a dedicated Health Home team, even small steps can lead to meaningful improvements in your overall health and well-being. By helping you stay connected to care, manage ongoing conditions, and focus on prevention and wellness goals, your care team works alongside you to build healthier habits over time.
Many individuals experience noticeable health improvements with this added support, including:
- 61% improved their blood sugar levels (A1c)
- 84% improved their cholesterol levels
- 45% experienced a decrease in body weight
These results show that small, consistent changes—like attending appointments, taking medications as prescribed, improving nutrition, or increasing activity—can make a big difference.
For example, even a modest improvement in blood sugar levels can have a powerful impact. Reducing A1c by just one point has been associated with a 14% lower risk of heart attack and a 37% reduction in complications related to diabetes.
Your Health Home team is here to support those small, meaningful steps—helping you feel more confident managing your health, improving outcomes, and building a path toward a healthier, more balanced life.
