Empowering Providers. Enhancing Lives.
We unite Minnesota’s HCBS providers to strengthen care through education, connection, advocacy, and resources that help them thrive.
Why Join Us
A Support Network, Advocacy Team, and Educational Hub all in one
We are guided by a strong commitment to inform, educate, and advocate on behalf of providers who serve individuals in the mental health, disability, and elderly care communities. Our efforts center around influencing and advancing policies related to the following areas:
A Key Policy Voice After Just FOUR Years
Accelerating Change Through Training and Advocacy
RPAMN has built a rapid legacy of training and advocacy for Minnesota’s 245D and 144G providers through consistent leadership and collaboration. We have directly supported provider organizations with essential skills, knowledge, and resources. We have championed policies that enhance the quality of care and strengthen services for individuals with disabilities across Minnesota.

Recent Legislative Accomplishments
Delay of 66% Pass-Through Requirement
RPAMN successfully delayed until 2029 the implementation of the 66% direct support staff pass-through requirement of the Medicaid dollars they receive toward the wages and benefits of direct care workers. This gives providers critical time to plan without facing financial penalties, and permanently exempts assisted living providers under 144G.
New Protections for Service Terminations
We helped amend § 144G.52 in Chapter 38 of Minnesota Statutes which provides a structured framework around termination/nonrenewal of assisted living services. Providers can now involve law enforcement when appropriate, access expedited hearings, and require case manager cooperation for resident relocations.
