Assertive community treatment and intensive residential treatment services statutory language recodifying provision

This bill (SF 2986) recodifies and updates Minnesota’s statutory language for assertive community treatment (ACT) and intensive residential treatment (IRT) services to improve consistency. It specifies that medical assistance covers these services when provided by certified/licensed entities meeting state standards, with payment based on a single daily rate per provider covering all included services (e.g., rehabilitative care, staff travel). The bill details how payment rates are calculated, requiring providers to report client outcomes and excluding room/board costs, while establishing formulas for cost components like staff salaries, program overhead, and performance-based adjustments. It directly affects ACT/IRT providers, the commissioner, and Medicaid program administrators by clarifying administrative and payment rules.
