Summary
The Minnesota Department of Human Services is experiencing a backlog in processing provider enrollment requests (new enrollments, re-enrollments, and enrollment updates) due to a statewide provider revalidation initiative for high-risk services. Processing times will exceed the standard 30-day timeframe until the revalidation effort is completed by May 31, 2026.
Action Required
By May 31, 2026: Billing team and providers should anticipate delayed enrollment processing for Minnesota Health Care Programs. Monitor enrollment status closely and follow up with the Minnesota Health Care Programs Provider Resource Center at 651-431-2700 if enrollment requests are not processed within the standard 30-day window. Document all submission dates and follow-up communications. Do not assume enrollment denials until after May 31, 2026. Delays in enrollment processing may impact claim submission eligibility—verify provider enrollment status before billing.
