Registration Application

This page outlines the requirements and processes for Supplemental Health Care Service Agencies to register with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. It provides direct access to both initial and renewal registration applications, as well as instructions for submitting fees and financial documentation. Following these guidelines ensures your agency remains in compliance with Missouri statutes while operating within the state.

How do supplemental health care service agencies register with the Department of Health and Senior Services?

Affected agencies must submit the registration application via online or mail and each registration application must be accompanied by an $830 initial registration fee or a $700 renewal registration fee. Initial Registration applications and fees should be received as soon as possible to legally operate in Missouri and be in compliance with section 198.642 RSMo.

However, agencies may also register by mailing the registration to:

Supplemental Health Care Services Agency Regulation

920 Wildwood Drive; PO Box 570

Jefferson City, MO 65109

OR

Agencies may register by submitting one pdf document with your agency name as the title or clearly within the document to our drop box link: SHCSA Drop Box.

Each separate business location from which the agency operates in Missouri shall have a separate application. 

Please note: the agency office does not have to be located in Missouri, any office location that provides health care personnel to a Missouri health care facility must register.

Fees must be payable to the Department of Health and Senior Services in the form of a cashier’s check, personal or certified check, company check, money order, online payment or e-check.
