Minnesota Statutes, 245G.11, subdivision 7, paragraph a, clause 3,
requires 30 hours of classroom instruction on SUD treatment coordination
for an individual with substance use disorder as a treatment coordinator
provider qualification.
Note: Statute identifies this service as “care”
coordination; however, this service is being approved by CMS as “treatment
coordination” and going forward should be referred to as such.
There are several groups providing a 30 hour training on treatment coordination at present, including schools and private training entities. However, there is not a specific training that is “state approved." We encourage attendees and trainers to
verify that the relevant components from 245G.07 and 245G.11 described in statute are contained in the
training.
Description of treatment coordination services
245G.07, subdivision 1, paragraph (a), clause (6) :
-
(i) assistance in coordination with
significant others to help in the treatment planning process whenever possible;
- (ii) assistance in coordination with and follow-up
for medical services as identified in the treatment plan;
- (iii) facilitation of referrals to substance use
disorder services as indicated by a client’s medical provider, comprehensive
assessment or treatment plan;
