State Launches New Recuperative Care Program
January 4, 2024
On January 1, the Minnesota Department of Human Services launched its new Recuperative Care program that covers medical care and support services to Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP) members who are experiencing homelessness and are unable to recover from a physical illness, but don't need to be hospitalized.
Recuperative Care program services may include basic nursing care, counseling and social services. These services may help prevent or reduce hospitalization, Emergency Department visits or hospital readmissions for eligible members.
For complete policy and billing information, refer to the Recuperative Care section in the MHCP Provider Manual.
During the 2023 legislative session, the MMA supported coverage for recuperative care services that would allow Minnesotans experiencing homelessness to receive needed short-term care in their recovery following hospitalization.
For additional questions, call the MHCP Provider Resource Center at 651-431-2700 or 800-366-5411.
