Bill > HF2957

This bill modifies Minnesota's healthcare provider enrollment regulations by changing the frequency of provider revalidation from every five years to every three years. The bill requires the Commissioner of Human Services to conduct regular revalidation of providers participating in Minnesota health care programs, with a specific process for notification and compliance. Under the new requirements, providers will receive a 30-day notice of revalidation with instructions and a list of required materials. If a provider fails to submit all materials by the due date, they will have an additional 30 days to comply after receiving a deficiency notice. Failure to remedy deficiencies within this timeframe can result in a 60-day termination notice and immediate suspension of billing privileges. The bill also empowers the commissioner to suspend a provider's ability to bill if they do not meet individual provider requirements, and allows for electronic notifications. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for high-risk providers, such as potential payment withholding and mandatory background checks, and requires certain providers to designate a compliance officer responsible for ensuring adherence to medical assistance laws and regulations. This update aims to enhance oversight and accountability in Minnesota's healthcare provider enrollment system.
