Provider Requirements
An Assertive Community Treatment Provider must be an Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (ARMHS) provider in order to receive Medical Assistance reimbursement. The Minnesota ARMHS Web-page contains information about becoming an ARMHS provider. ACT Providers are required to participate in the Program Outcome Status Reporting (POSR). The Legislative requirements for ACT services fall under the ARMHS legislation as well as the Intensive Rehabilitative Mental Health Services legislation.
