Recipient protections and continuity of care when a provider is subject to a serious operational event provided, complex transitions provided, and continuity period and transition payments provided.

This bill establishes protections for Minnesota residents receiving state-funded healthcare services when their service providers face serious operational problems like bankruptcy, license revocation, or insolvency. It requires providers to give at least 30 days notice before stopping services and to help affected clients transition to new providers of their choice. The state health commissioner and local agencies must notify recipients directly and ensure they continue receiving medically necessary care during transitions, particularly for vulnerable individuals receiving long-term services, behavioral health treatment, or life-sustaining care. The legislation also creates a process for designating certain situations as complex transitions that require special attention and support to prevent harm or loss of housing for recipients.
