Barriers and Recommendations From Outstate Minnesota

This workgroup aims to identify opportunities to reduce barriers preventing access to quality care in Minnesota, with a focus on addressing financial and structural barriers for special or harder to reach populations. This includes transportation issues, same-day service billing prohibition, overuse of the ED, cultural/communication barriers, lack of knowledge of preventive care, mistrust in the healthcare system, limited access to dental care for government plan recipients, low health literacy, lack of healthcare workforce diversity, and prior authorization barriers. Recommendations include transportation solutions, interpreter/CHW reimbursements, innovation grants for community partnerships, prepaid coordination options, and common formulary and health plan coverage transparency.
