Did you know that you can view the status of a SHCSA application or registration? Our dashboard (link below) shows in real time all SHCSA applications received to date and registrations issued. As a reminder, any agency that operates in Missouri and falls within statute 198.640(6): A supplemental health care services agency is defined as a person, firm, corporation, partnership or association engaged for hire in the business of providing or procuring temporary employment in health care facilities for health care personnel, including a temporary nursing staffing agency as defined in section 383.130, or that operates a digital website or digital smartphone application that facilitates the provision of the engagement of health care personnel and accepts requests for health care personnel through its digital website or digital smartphone application shall register with the department pursuant to statute 198.642.1. Initial registration applications and fees should be received as soon as possible, but before December 31, 2023. Please email SHCSA@health.mo.gov with any questions or concerns.
