The MN DHS Program Integrity Oversight Division is currently withholding payments from Home & Community Based Providers during integrity reviews. While accountability matters, prolonged payment holds place clients, staff, and essential services at risk. Brendas Place has been affected by this pause in payments.
Delayed payments can mean delayed care. Our communities deserve both integrity AND continuity of services. We urge DHS to prioritize timely resolutions and clear guidance so providers can keep serving those who depend on them most. Holding our payments is causing problems for providers, staff, and the people we serve.
