Subd. 2. Exceptions. (a) If a state official litigates or settles a matter on behalf of specific injured persons or entities, this section does not prohibit distribution of money to the specific injured persons or entities on whose behalf the litigation or settlement efforts were initiated. If money recovered on behalf of injured persons or entities cannot reasonably be distributed to those persons or entities because they cannot readily be located or identified or because the cost of distributing the money would outweigh the benefit to the persons or entities, the money must be paid into the general fund.
(b) Money recovered on behalf of a fund in the state treasury other than the general fund may be deposited in that fund.
(c) This section does not prohibit a state official from distributing money to a person or entity other than the state in litigation or potential litigation in which the state is a defendant or potential defendant.
(d) State agencies may accept funds as directed by a federal court for any restitution or monetary penalty under United States Code, title 18, section 3663(a)(3), or United States Code, title 18, section 3663A(a)(3). Funds received must be deposited in a special revenue account and are appropriated to the commissioner of the agency for the purpose as directed by the federal court.
(e) Tobacco settlement revenues as defined in section 16A.98, subdivision 1, paragraph (t), may be deposited as provided in section 16A.98, subdivision 12.
(f) Any money received by the state
resulting from a settlement agreement or an assurance of discontinuance entered
into by the attorney general of the state, or a court order in litigation
brought by the attorney general of the state, on behalf of the state or a state
agency, against one or more opioid manufacturers or opioid wholesale drug
distributors related to alleged violations of consumer fraud laws in the
marketing, sale, or distribution of opioids in this state or other alleged
illegal actions that contributed to the excessive use of opioids, must be
deposited in a separate account in the state treasury and the commissioner
shall notify the chairs and ranking minority members of the Finance Committee
in the senate and the Ways and Means Committee in the house of representatives
that an account has been created. This
paragraph does not apply to attorney fees and costs awarded to the state or the
Attorney General's Office, to contract attorneys hired by the state or Attorney
General's Office, or to other state agency attorneys. If the licensing fees under section 151.065,
subdivision 1, clause (16), and subdivision 3, clause (14), are reduced
and the registration fee under section 151.066, subdivision 3, is repealed in
accordance with section 256.043, subdivision 4, then the commissioner shall
transfer from the separate account created in this paragraph to the opiate
epidemic response fund under section 256.043 an amount that ensures that
$20,940,000 each fiscal year is available for distribution in accordance with
section 256.043, subdivisions 2 and 3."

Subd. 2. Exceptions. (a) If a state official litigates or settles a matter on behalf of specific injured persons or entities, this section does not prohibit distribution of money to the specific injured persons or entities on whose behalf the litigation or settlement efforts were initiated. If money recovered on behalf of injured persons or entities cannot reasonably be distributed to those persons or entities because they cannot readily be located or identified or because the cost of distributing the money would outweigh the benefit to the persons or entities, the money must be paid into the general fund.
(b) Money recovered on behalf of a fund in the state treasury other than the general fund may be deposited in that fund.
(c) This section does not prohibit a state official from distributing money to a person or entity other than the state in litigation or potential litigation in which the state is a defendant or potential defendant.
(d) State agencies may accept funds as directed by a federal court for any restitution or monetary penalty under United States Code, title 18, section 3663(a)(3), or United States Code, title 18, section 3663A(a)(3). Funds received must be deposited in a special revenue account and are appropriated to the commissioner of the agency for the purpose as directed by the federal court.
(e) Tobacco settlement revenues as defined in section 16A.98, subdivision 1, paragraph (t), may be deposited as provided in section 16A.98, subdivision 12.
(f) Any money received by the state
resulting from a settlement agreement or an assurance of discontinuance entered
into by the attorney general of the state, or a court order in litigation
brought by the attorney general of the state, on behalf of the state or a state
agency, against one or more opioid manufacturers or opioid wholesale drug
distributors related to alleged violations of consumer fraud laws in the
marketing, sale, or distribution of opioids in this state or other alleged
illegal actions that contributed to the excessive use of opioids, must be
deposited in a separate account in the state treasury and the commissioner
shall notify the chairs and ranking minority members of the Finance Committee
in the senate and the Ways and Means Committee in the house of representatives
that an account has been created. This
paragraph does not apply to attorney fees and costs awarded to the state or the
Attorney General's Office, to contract attorneys hired by the state or Attorney
General's Office, or to other state agency attorneys. If the licensing fees under section 151.065,
subdivision 1, clause (16), and subdivision 3, clause (14), are reduced
and the registration fee under section 151.066, subdivision 3, is repealed in
accordance with section 256.043, subdivision 4, then the commissioner shall
transfer from the separate account created in this paragraph to the opiate
epidemic response fund under section 256.043 an amount that ensures that
$20,940,000 each fiscal year is available for distribution in accordance with
section 256.043, subdivisions 2 and 3."

"Sec. 11. [62K.16]
REFERENCE-BASED PRICING HEALTH PLAN.
Subdivision 1. General. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary
and upon any necessary federal approval, a health carrier may offer in the
individual, small, and large group market a reference-based pricing health plan
that meets the requirements of this section.
Subd. 2. Provider
participation. (a) An
enrollee of a reference-based pricing health plan may access any health care
provider who has agreed to (1) a reimbursement rate up to but not greater than
the reimbursement rate specified in the enrollee's reference-based pricing plan
as defined under this section, and (2) any other terms and conditions offered
by the health carrier. Any terms and
conditions offered by the health carrier must be the same for all health care
providers who agree to participate in the health plan.
(b) A health carrier may require a participating
provider to meet reasonable data, utilization review, and quality assurance
requirements.
(c) A provider who agrees to
participate must provide services to all enrollees of the health plan if the
provider's reimbursement rates are equal to or less than that specified in the
enrollee's health plan.
Subd. 3. Reimbursement
rates. (a) The reimbursement
rates offered to providers who agree to participate in a reference-based
pricing health plan must be based on a percentage relative to the rates defined
by the most recent Medicare reimbursement schedules promulgated by the Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
(b) For services that do not have a
corresponding Medicare reimbursement value, the health carrier must negotiate
the rates based on other fee schedules used within the health care market.
(c) If a reference-based pricing health
plan's reimbursement rate is at least 120 percent above the Medicare rate and
the health plan is offered in all counties throughout Minnesota, the health
plan is exempt from the geographic and network adequacy requirements under
section 62K.10.
(d) A provider who agrees to
participate in the health plan agrees to accept the reimbursement rate as
payment in full under the terms of the health plan in accordance with section
62K.11.
Subd. 4. Conditions. (a) Nothing in this section requires a
provider to participate in a reference-based pricing health plan. A health carrier is prohibited from
requiring, as a condition of participation in any other health plan, product,
or other arrangement offered by the health carrier, that the provider
participate in a reference-based pricing health plan.
(b) Nothing in this section requires a
health carrier to provide coverage for a service or treatment that is not
covered under the enrollee's health plan.
(c) A reference-based pricing health
plan may impose cost-sharing requirements, including co-payments, deductibles,
and coinsurance and reasonable referral and prior authorization requirements.
Subd. 5. Definitions. For purposes of this section, "provider" has the meaning given in section 62J.03, subdivision 8."

"Sec. 28. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 256B.0625, subdivision 17, is amended to read:
Subd. 17. Transportation costs. (a) "Nonemergency medical transportation service" means motor vehicle transportation provided by a public or private person that serves Minnesota health care program beneficiaries who do not require emergency ambulance service, as defined in section 144E.001, subdivision 3, to obtain covered medical services.
(b) Medical assistance covers medical transportation costs incurred solely for obtaining emergency medical care or transportation costs incurred by eligible persons in obtaining emergency or nonemergency medical care when paid directly to an ambulance company, nonemergency medical transportation company, or other recognized providers of transportation services. Medical transportation must be provided by:
(1) nonemergency medical transportation providers who meet the requirements of this subdivision;
(2) ambulances, as defined in section 144E.001, subdivision 2;
(3) taxicabs that meet the requirements of this subdivision;
(4) public transit, as defined in section 174.22, subdivision 7; or
(5) not-for-hire vehicles, including volunteer drivers.
(c) Medical assistance covers nonemergency medical transportation provided by nonemergency medical transportation providers enrolled in the Minnesota health care programs. All nonemergency medical transportation providers must comply with the operating standards for special transportation service as defined in sections 174.29 to 174.30 and Minnesota Rules, chapter 8840, and all drivers must be individually enrolled with the commissioner and reported on the claim as the individual who provided the service. All nonemergency medical transportation providers shall bill for nonemergency medical transportation services in accordance with Minnesota health care programs criteria. Publicly operated transit systems, volunteers, and not-for-hire vehicles are exempt from the requirements outlined in this paragraph.
(d) An organization may be terminated, denied, or suspended from enrollment if:
(1) the provider has not initiated background studies on the individuals specified in section 174.30, subdivision 10, paragraph (a), clauses (1) to (3); or
(2) the provider has initiated background studies on the individuals specified in section 174.30, subdivision 10, paragraph (a), clauses (1) to (3), and:
(i) the commissioner has sent the provider a notice that the individual has been disqualified under section 245C.14; and
(ii) the individual has not received a disqualification set-aside specific to the special transportation services provider under sections 245C.22 and 245C.23.
(e) The administrative agency of nonemergency medical transportation must:
(1) adhere to the policies defined by the commissioner in consultation with the Nonemergency Medical Transportation Advisory Committee;
(2) pay nonemergency medical transportation providers for services provided to Minnesota health care programs beneficiaries to obtain covered medical services;
(3) provide data monthly to the commissioner on appeals, complaints, no-shows, canceled trips, and number of trips by mode; and
(4) by July 1, 2016, in accordance with subdivision 18e, utilize a web-based single administrative structure assessment tool that meets the technical requirements established by the commissioner, reconciles trip information with claims being submitted by providers, and ensures prompt payment for nonemergency medical transportation services.
(f)
Until the commissioner implements the single administrative structure and
delivery system under subdivision 18e
(g) The commissioner may use an order by the recipient's attending physician, advanced practice registered nurse, or a medical or mental health professional to certify that the recipient requires nonemergency medical transportation services. Nonemergency medical transportation providers shall perform driver-assisted services for eligible individuals, when appropriate. Driver-assisted service includes passenger pickup at and return to the individual's residence or place of business, assistance with admittance of the individual to the medical facility, and assistance in passenger securement or in securing of wheelchairs, child seats, or stretchers in the vehicle.
Nonemergency medical transportation providers must take clients to the health care provider using the most direct route, and must not exceed 30 miles for a trip to a primary care provider or 60 miles for a trip to a specialty care provider, unless the client receives authorization from the local agency.
Nonemergency medical transportation providers may not bill for separate base rates for the continuation of a trip beyond the original destination. Nonemergency medical transportation providers must maintain trip logs, which include pickup and drop-off times, signed by the medical provider or client, whichever is deemed most appropriate, attesting to mileage traveled to obtain covered medical services. Clients requesting client mileage reimbursement must sign the trip log attesting mileage traveled to obtain covered medical services.
(h) The administrative agency shall use the level of service process established by the commissioner in consultation with the Nonemergency Medical Transportation Advisory Committee to determine the client's most appropriate mode of transportation. If public transit or a certified transportation provider is not available to provide the appropriate service mode for the client, the client may receive a onetime service upgrade.
(i) The covered modes of transportation are:
(1) client reimbursement, which includes client mileage reimbursement provided to clients who have their own transportation, or to family or an acquaintance who provides transportation to the client;
(2) volunteer transport, which includes transportation by volunteers using their own vehicle;
(3) unassisted transport, which includes transportation provided to a client by a taxicab or public transit. If a taxicab or public transit is not available, the client can receive transportation from another nonemergency medical transportation provider;
(4) assisted transport, which includes transport provided to clients who require assistance by a nonemergency medical transportation provider;
(5) lift-equipped/ramp transport, which includes transport provided to a client who is dependent on a device and requires a nonemergency medical transportation provider with a vehicle containing a lift or ramp;
(6) protected transport, which includes transport provided to a client who has received a prescreening that has deemed other forms of transportation inappropriate and who requires a provider: (i) with a protected vehicle that is not an ambulance or police car and has safety locks, a video recorder, and a transparent thermoplastic partition between the passenger and the vehicle driver; and (ii) who is certified as a protected transport provider; and
(7) stretcher transport, which includes transport for a client in a prone or supine position and requires a nonemergency medical transportation provider with a vehicle that can transport a client in a prone or supine position.
(j) The local agency shall be the single administrative agency and shall administer and reimburse for modes defined in paragraph (i) according to paragraphs (m) and (n) when the commissioner has developed, made available, and funded the web-based single administrative structure, assessment tool, and level of need assessment under subdivision 18e. The local agency's financial obligation is limited to funds provided by the state or federal government.
(k) The commissioner shall:
(1) in consultation with the Nonemergency Medical Transportation Advisory Committee, verify that the mode and use of nonemergency medical transportation is appropriate;
(2) verify that the client is going to an approved medical appointment; and
(3) investigate all complaints and appeals.
(l) The administrative agency shall pay for the services provided in this subdivision and seek reimbursement from the commissioner, if appropriate. As vendors of medical care, local agencies are subject to the provisions in section 256B.041, the sanctions and monetary recovery actions in section 256B.064, and Minnesota Rules, parts 9505.2160 to 9505.2245.
(m) Payments for nonemergency medical transportation must be paid based on the client's assessed mode under paragraph (h), not the type of vehicle used to provide the service. The medical assistance reimbursement rates for nonemergency medical transportation services that are payable by or on behalf of the commissioner for nonemergency medical transportation services are:
(1) $0.22 per mile for client reimbursement;
(2) up to 100 percent of the Internal Revenue Service business deduction rate for volunteer transport;
(3) equivalent to the standard fare for unassisted transport when provided by public transit, and $11 for the base rate and $1.30 per mile when provided by a nonemergency medical transportation provider;
(4) $13 for the base rate and $1.30 per mile for assisted transport;
(5) $18 for the base rate and $1.55 per mile for lift-equipped/ramp transport;
(6) $75 for the base rate and $2.40 per mile for protected transport; and
(7) $60 for the base rate and $2.40 per mile for stretcher transport, and $9 per trip for an additional attendant if deemed medically necessary.
(n) The base rate for nonemergency medical
transportation services in areas defined under RUCA to be super rural outside
of a metropolitan county is equal to 111.3 150 percent of the
respective base rate in paragraph (m), clauses (1) to (7) (3) to (5). The mileage rate for nonemergency medical
transportation services in areas defined under RUCA to be rural or super
rural areas is: outside of a metropolitan county is equal to 150 percent
of the respective mileage rate in paragraph (m), clauses (3) to (5). For purposes of this paragraph,
"metropolitan county" has the meaning provided in section 473.121,
subdivision 4.
(1) for a trip equal to 17 miles or
less, equal to 125 percent of the respective mileage rate in paragraph (m),
clauses (1) to (7); and
(2)
for a trip between 18 and 50 miles, equal to 112.5 percent of the respective
mileage rate in paragraph (m), clauses (1) to (7).
(o) For purposes of reimbursement rates
for nonemergency medical transportation services under paragraphs (m) and (n),
the zip code of the recipient's place of residence shall determine whether the
urban, rural, or super rural reimbursement rate applies.
(p) For purposes of this subdivision,
"rural urban commuting area" or "RUCA" means a census-tract
based classification system under which a geographical area is determined to be
urban, rural, or super rural.
(q) (o) The commissioner,
when determining reimbursement rates for nonemergency medical transportation
under paragraphs (m) and (n), shall exempt all modes of transportation listed under
paragraph (i) from Minnesota Rules, part 9505.0445, item R, subitem (2)."

Page 552, after line 22, insert:
"Sec. 24. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 256B.5012, is amended by adding a subdivision to read:
Subd. 18. ICF/DD
rate increases effective July 1, 2021.
(a) For the rate period beginning July 1, 2021, the commissioner
must increase operating payments for each facility reimbursed under this
section equal to five percent of the operating payment rates in effect on June
30, 2021.
(b) For each facility, the commissioner
must apply the rate increase based on occupied beds, using the percentage
specified in this subdivision multiplied by the total payment rate, including
the variable rate but excluding the property-related payment rate in effect on
June 30, 2021. The total rate increase
must include the adjustment provided in section 256B.501, subdivision 12.
Sec. 25. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 256B.5013, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
Subdivision 1. Variable
rate adjustments. (a) For rate
years beginning on or after October 1, 2000, When there is a documented
increase in the needs of a current ICF/DD recipient, the county of financial
responsibility may recommend a variable rate to enable the facility to meet the
individual's increased needs. Variable
rate adjustments made under this subdivision replace payments for persons with
special needs for crisis intervention services under section 256B.501,
subdivision 8a. Effective July 1,
2003, facilities with a base rate above the 50th percentile of the statewide
average reimbursement rate for a Class A facility or Class B facility,
whichever matches the facility licensure, are not eligible for a variable rate
adjustment. Variable rate adjustments
may not exceed a 12-month
period, except when approved for purposes established in paragraph (b), clause (1). Once approved, variable rate adjustments must continue to remain in place unless there is an identified change in need. A review of needed resources must be done at the time of the individual's annual support plan meeting. Any change in need identified must result in submission of a request to adjust the resources for the individual. Variable rate adjustments approved solely on the basis of changes on a developmental disabilities screening document will end June 30, 2002.
(b) The county of financial
responsibility must act on a variable rate request within 30 days and notify
the initiator of the request of the county's recommendation in writing.
(b) (c) A variable rate may
be recommended by the county of financial responsibility for increased needs in
the following situations:
(1) a need for resources due to an individual's full or partial retirement from participation in a day training and habilitation service when the individual: (i) has reached the age of 65 or has a change in health condition that makes it difficult for the person to participate in day training and habilitation services over an extended period of time because it is medically contraindicated; and (ii) has expressed a desire for change through the developmental disability screening process under section 256B.092;
(2) a need for additional resources for
intensive short-term programming which that is necessary prior to
an individual's discharge to a less restrictive, more integrated setting;
(3) a demonstrated medical need that
significantly impacts the type or amount of services needed by the individual; or
(4) a demonstrated behavioral or
cognitive need that significantly impacts the type or amount of services
needed by the individual.; or
(c) The county of financial
responsibility must justify the purpose, the projected length of time, and the
additional funding needed for the facility to meet the needs of the individual.
(d) The facility shall provide an
annual report to the county case manager on the use of the variable rate funds
and the status of the individual on whose behalf the funds were approved. The county case manager will forward the
facility's report with a recommendation to the commissioner to approve or
disapprove a continuation of the variable rate.
(e) Funds made available through the variable
rate process that are not used by the facility to meet the needs of the
individual for whom they were approved shall be returned to the state.
(5) a demonstrated increased need for
staff assistance, changes in the type of staff credentials needed, or a need
for expert consultation based on assessments conducted prior to the annual
support plan meeting.
(d) Variable rate requests must include
the following information:
(1) the service needs change;
(2) the variable rate requested and the
difference from the current rate;
(3) a basis for the underlying costs
used for the variable rate and any accompanying documentation; and
(4) documentation of the expected
outcomes to be achieved and the frequency of progress monitoring associated
with the rate increase.

passport, vaccine pass, or vaccine credential certifying the individual's
COVID-19 vaccination status or COVID-19 post-transmission recovery status to

Subd. 4. Violation. (a) A violation of this section is a
misdemeanor. A business shall be fined a
penalty of $10,000 for each violation.
(b) In addition to any other remedy
otherwise available under law, an individual may bring an action to assert a
claim under this section and may recover compensatory damages; costs and
disbursements, including the cost of investigation and attorney fees; and
equitable relief as determined by the court.
