As of June 15, 2021, the Minnesota Board on Aging has moved the state policy for preadmission screenings for nursing facility admission to the Senior LinkAge Line website. Reference this page regularly to ensure you have the most up-to-date information. State staff will make revisions to this information as policy changes.

This page replaces the following DHS bulletins:

• Payment in Medicaid-Certified Nursing Facilities and 90-Day Redetermination of Level of Care, DHS Bulletin #19-25-03 (PDF).
