Payment rates established for certain substance use disorder treatment services, and vendor eligibility recodified for payments from the behavioral health fund.

HF 1994 establishes standardized daily payment rates for various levels of substance use disorder (SUD) treatment services funded through Minnesota’s behavioral health fund. It directly affects treatment providers (such as clinics, residential facilities, and hospitals) that bill this fund for services like outpatient care, residential treatment, and medication-assisted therapy. The bill sets specific rates - for example, $79.84 per day for low-intensity outpatient services and $224.06 per day for high-intensity residential care - while recodifying which providers qualify for payments. It also creates enhanced rates for programs serving parents with children (requiring on-site or documented off-site childcare) and culturally specific SUD services.
