Medical claims filing timelines, withdrawal management services, and mental health diagnostic services assessments provisions modified; and closure planning requirements imposed on peer recovery supports providers.

HF 1963 modifies key timelines for healthcare billing and service delivery in Minnesota. It extends the standard 6-month deadline for health providers to submit medical claims to 12 months when operational disruptions occur, and adds a further 6-month extension if health plans adjust payments. The bill also requires peer recovery support providers (community organizations helping people with substance use disorders) to create formal closure plans if they stop operating. These changes directly affect hospitals, clinics, health insurance plans, counties managing services, and peer recovery organizations.
