Minnesota HF 4781, a filed bill, would modify Medical Assistance payment rates and rebasing schedules for certified community behavioral health clinics.
Proposed changes to CCBHC payments
According to the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes, HF 4781 is a filed bill that would modify certified community behavioral health clinic, or CCBHC, rates and rebasing schedules under Medical Assistance. The Minnesota Revisor of Statutes states that the measure is proposed legislation and is not enacted law.
The Minnesota Revisor of Statutes says the bill would amend Minnesota Statutes 2025 Supplement, section 256B.0625, subdivision 5m. Under the provision described in the bill, Medical Assistance covers services delivered by a not-for-profit CCBHC that meets requirements in section 245.735, subdivision 3, according to the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.
Daily bundled payment system
The Minnesota Revisor of Statutes states that the commissioner would reimburse CCBHCs on a per-day basis for each day an eligible service is delivered. The reimbursement would use the CCBHC daily bundled rate system for Medical Assistance payments, according to the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.
The bill also provides for a quality incentive payment within that daily bundled rate system, the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes says. The source further states that there is no county share for Medical Assistance services reimbursed through the CCBHC daily bundled rate system.
How rates would be calculated
According to the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes, the daily bundled rate would be provider-specific, meaning a separate rate would be calculated for each CCBHC. The source says the rate is based on the daily cost of providing CCBHC services.
The Minnesota Revisor of Statutes states that total annual allowable CCBHC costs would be divided by the total annual number of CCBHC visits when calculating the payment rate. Those annual visits would include both visits covered by Medical Assistance and visits not covered by Medical Assistance, according to the source.
The Minnesota Revisor of Statutes also says allowable costs include, but are not limited to, salaries. The bill title identifies changes to CCBHC rates and rebasing schedules, while the extract describes the daily bundled rate approach and its cost-and-visit calculation.
What this means for Minnesota patients
According to the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes, HF 4781 remains a filed bill rather than enacted law, so its proposed CCBHC payment changes are not currently law. For people looking for treatment locally, the directory lists 136 published clinics in Minnesota.
