Federal and Minnesota regulations
Documentation standards for MH-TCM services include: federal law, CMS program manual, CMS policy letters, Minnesota Statute, Minnesota Rule, DHS MHCP Provider Manual, DHS Rules and Bulletins. MCO contracts with providers may have specific additional documentation standards for contracted providers.
Minnesota must comply with federal regulations in order to receive Federal Financial Participation (FFP) and documentation is crucial to compliance.
Documentation must support the qualifying MH-TCM services provided to an eligible individual.
In accordance with MA and state record keeping requirements, health service records, including the MH-TCM client record/file, must be developed and maintained as a condition of payment by MHCP. Each occurrence of a health service must be documented in the client’s health record. MHCP funds paid for health care not documented in the health service record are subject to monetary recovery.
