Contracts and Provider Oversight

  • The Contracts and Provider Oversight (CPO) team monitors publicly funded substance use disorder (SUD) care. This team strives to ensure recipients get appropriate treatment based on standards set by the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM).  
  • CPO works with Acentra Health, the Behavioral Health Administration (BHA) and the DHS Licensing division to oversee SUD services in Minnesota. This coalition works to detect and prevent fraud, waste and abuse in SUD programs. 
  • CPO helps coordinate education for providers to ensure they know the requirements of being a Minnesota Health Care Program. CPO works alongside the BHA and Acentra Health to give technical and other assistance to SUD programs so that more Minnesotans can get the care they need.
