Sexual Assault Forensic Examination Program (SAFE)
The Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (SAFE) Program covers the cost of gathering, collecting and preserving evidence during a forensic examination for victims of sexual crimes that occurred in Missouri. While SAFE is the “payor of first resort” for these fees, health insurance carriers may be billed as a secondary payor. NO forensic fees may be billed to the patient. However, the SAFE program does not cover any medical treatment that may be required because of the sexual assault.
