Missouri's nursing-facility Medicaid pathway is called Vendor Nursing Care, or just Vendor Care. Reimbursement flows directly to the nursing-services provider, and the state's non-MAGI chart describes Vendor Care as covering care in a nursing facility and other specified institutional settings.
The financial side isn't a simple income-cap test. Missouri's July 2026 chart applies a resident's income to the facility as "surplus" only after subtracting the personal-needs allowance and allowable deductions — things like medical insurance premiums, allotments, and child support. That same chart sets the resource maximum at $6,220.50 after a Division of Assets.
