October 10, 2022

Around 600,000 managed care contracts have been signed off by the Minnesota Department of Human Services last week. The deal will serve patients across the US state of Minnesota, with plans coming from 9 different payers. The contracts will begin this coming New Years Day

According to Red Lake Nation News, “During the procurement process, counties and DHS collectively determined the questions for the requests for proposals, the point total for each question and the criteria for each response. DHS and the counties then scored the responses together. DHS and the counties prioritized scoring for commitments to addressing equity, eliminating disparities in health outcomes and responding to the needs of rural Minnesotans. Health plans responded to questions on these topics in the requests for proposals. The contracts also add accountability measures for health outcomes.”
