Behavioral Health Fund eligibility guidelines updated for State Fiscal Year 2024


The Minnesota Department of Human Services has updated its guidelines for determining Behavioral Health Fund financial eligibility for substance use disorder treatment for State Fiscal Year 2024 (SFY 2024). Please read and follow the guidelines in DHS-6770-ENG effective from Jul. 1, 2023 through Jun. 30, 2024.

While Medicaid enrollment is not required, individuals who qualify for funding may be Medicaid eligible and are encouraged to use the Behavioral Health Fund income eligibility process as an opportunity to start the Medicaid application process. Enrolling Behavioral Health Fund recipients in Medicaid provides these individuals with the range of health care services they need to move forward in their recovery.

Minnesota Statute section 254B.02, Subd. 5 notes that the commissioner may make payments to local agencies to support administrative activities. The BHF SFY 2024 Administrative Allowance Report is also posted for tribal and county administrative allowance maximum amounts for SFY 2024.

Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP) providers can find information about the Behavioral Health Fund Eligibility Guidelines for State Fiscal Year 2024 (DHS-6770) in the Substance Use Disorder Services section of the MHCP provider manual.
