Pharmacists interested in only Ordering, Prescribing, or Referring (OPR) services for MO HealthNet participants should enroll as OPR providers. Pharmacists interested in performing or billing for services rendered to MO HealthNet participants should enroll as Billing or Performing provider.
OPR Provider Enrollment:
