These are the individual contracts between DHS and the MCOs for health care and long-term care services for various groups of people enrolled in MHCP. Managed care contracts are amended throughout the year in response to legislative or other legal requirements, for risk adjustment, and to correct errors. Amendments can be obtained by request via the "Questions?" link near the bottom of the page.

If you have questions about the MCO contracts or need an amendment or a contract from a previous year, contact Kathleen.Kuha@state.mn.us.

The terminology used to describe people with disabilities has changed over time. The Minnesota Department of Human Services ("Department") supports the use of "People First" language. Although outmoded and offensive terms might be found within documents on the Department's website, the Department does not endorse these terms.
