Bill > SF1966

This bill modifies several aspects of medical claims and healthcare services in Minnesota. Specifically, it extends the timeline for healthcare providers to submit medical claims, allowing an additional six months for filing after a health plan company or third-party administrator makes a payment adjustment or recoupment. The bill also updates requirements for recovery community organizations, mandating they meet certain certification standards by June 30, 2025, and imposing new operational guidelines such as not classifying recovery peers as independent contractors and providing specific notice requirements to service participants. Additionally, the bill adjusts regulations for substance use disorder treatment services, including establishing rate requirements for different levels of care, specifying higher rates for programs meeting certain additional criteria (such as offering on-site child care or being culturally responsive), and setting limits on peer recovery support services, including a 14-hour weekly limit per individual client. The changes aim to improve flexibility for healthcare providers, enhance oversight of recovery support services, and provide more detailed guidelines for substance use disorder treatment programs.
