Abstract
Introduction: In October 2021, Missouri began enrollment for the Adult Expansion Group of Medicaid, MO Health Net. This expansion allowed over 300,000 uninsured individuals to be enrolled. Now that individuals have access to insurance it excludes them from community-based health programs like MedZou, a clinic offering free services to uninsured individuals in Boone and surrounding counties. However, we see that in rural and underserved communities this expansion has not been met with an increase of staffing to accommodate this influx of patients. Previous studies have highlighted that access to insurance alone does not determine the access, health status or quality of care that a person receives. Our team surveyed individuals to determine the perceived access to health care and identify the most common barriers to accessing healthcare also called Social Determinants of Health, SDOH, in Boone County.
