ST. LOUIS and TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 16, 2017

The app is free and can be used by Missouri Care's MO HealthNet Managed Care (Medicaid) members to:

• Find a doctor or dentist.
• QuickCare allows members to quickly find nearby urgent care clinics or hospitals.
• Access Wellness Services, a secure feature that reminds members about needed preventive health screenings, such as a mammogram or eye exam.
• Display their Missouri Care Member ID Card, or send it electronically to providers.
• Receive timely member updates, such as an annual flu shot reminder.

"Three out of every four people own smartphones, according to a 2016 report by The Pew Research Center. By providing our members with an easy-to-use platform for locating an urgent care clinic, connecting with customer service, or getting reminders about recommended preventive screenings, we are helping them get the information and care they need to achieve and maintain optimal health," said Lou Gianquinto, Missouri Care president.

The Missouri Care app is available to iPhone^® and Android^® smartphone users via their device's mobile app store.

Members can call the customer service number on the back of their ID cards if they have questions about the app or need assistance to download it.
