Minnesota Department of Human Services Announces Freeze

The Minnesota Department of Human Services will freeze new Medicaid provider enrollment in 13 service categories most vulnerable to fraud.

The 13 categories deemed high risk for fraud in this action are: adult companion services, adult day services, adult rehabilitative mental health services, assertive community treatment, community first services and supports, early intensive developmental and behavioral intervention, individualized home supports, integrated community supports, intensive residential treatment services, night supervision services, nonemergency medical transportation services, peer recovery support services and recuperative care. Minnesota discontinued Housing Stabilization Services as a program in October 2025.

The freeze, directed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, is expected to last six months, though a start date has not been announced. Current providers may continue serving clients, and client enrollment will not be affected. More information and updates are available on the Minnesota Department of Human Services website.
