Made up of physicians, mental health professionals, other health care providers, and consumer representatives, the council provides leadership in designing public health care benefit and coverage policies for Minnesota.

- Free or low-cost training
- Invitations to events and webinars
- FAQs on service or policy changes
- Guidance on regulations
