Mo. Rev. Stat. § 197.420
A license shall not be transferable or assignable. When a home health agency is sold or ownership or management is transferred, or the corporate legal organization status is substantially changed, the license of the agency shall be voided and a new license obtained. Application for a new license shall be made to the department in writing, at least ninety days prior to the effective date of the sale, transfer, or change in corporate status. The application for a new license shall be on the same form, containing the same information required for an original license, and shall be accompanied by a license fee of six hundred dollars. The department may issue a temporary operating permit for the continuation of the operation of the home health agency for a period of not more than ninety days pending the survey inspection and the final disposition of the application. The department shall require all licensed home health agencies to submit statistical reports. The content, format, and frequency of such reports shall be determined by the department with council approval.
