Can I collect social security numbers from participants in Missouri? What are the requirements?

Yes, you can collect social security numbers from participants in Missouri, but there may be certain requirements that you need to follow. The Missouri Medicaid Title XIX Programs allow the use of electronic signatures for validating services rendered and received, including the use of social security numbers ^[4.1]. However, if you are collecting social security numbers, you must ensure that you have adequate safeguards in place to protect against improper or unauthorized use of these methods ^[4.1]. Additionally, if you are a provider under the Missouri Medicaid Title XIX or Title XXI programs, you must follow the requirements outlined in MOCS 13 CSR 65-2.020 for provider enrollment and application ^[4.3].
