DHS to begin CFSS cost reporting

Effective June 1, 2025, DHS will begin to collect CFSS cost-reporting data. We are beginning CFSS cost reporting because the Minnesota Legislature directed us to develop and implement a cost review for organizations that provide CFSS agency-model services (as directed under Minn. Stat. §256B.851, subd. 8).

DHS actions

DHS will:

· Collect CFSS cost-reporting data on an ongoing basis.

· Use the data to inform policymakers of the costs to provide CFSS services.

· Make evidence-based recommendations to the legislature about CFSS payment rates.

Timeline

On March 31, 2025, DHS will select provider organizations to participate in the 2025 CFSS cost reporting cycle. We will email the selected providers’ authorized agents to explain:

· Information to include in the cost report.

· Instructions to log into the CFSS Cost Reporting System to complete the cost report.

Provider actions

DHS asks providers to update their authorized agent information in the Minnesota Provider Screening and Enrollment (MPSE) portal. For more information, refer to MPSE Manual – Home.

DHS encourages providers to review the following CFSS cost reporting resources:

· CFSS Cost Reporting Instruction Manual.

· DHS – CFSS cost reporting.

· DHS – CFSS cost reporting frequently asked questions.
