The Minnesota Department of Human Services is seeking public feedback on new licensing standards for Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention (EIDBI) providers, following 2025 legislation requiring EIDBI provider licensing. Review draft standards and provide feedback through online and in-person engagement opportunities through August 31, 2026, with recommendations to be finalized for the Minnesota Legislature by January 2027.

The credentialing organization formerly known as CAQH, which maintains provider records used across much of the U.S. healthcare system, converted from a nonprofit to a for-profit company owned by twelve health plan–affiliated shareholders in January 2026 and rebranded as DataSpring in June, while retaining the same provider database and credentialing infrastructure.

Minnesota’s aggressive effort to combat Medicaid fraud has resulted in more than 3,000 care providers losing state funding after a rapid four-month revalidation process ordered under federal pressure. Providers say the rushed process has disrupted services for vulnerable Minnesotans and threatens the survival of legitimate businesses that may go months without payment while appeals are reviewed.
