More Than Paperwork. More Than Numbers.
Options, Inc. is facing a crisis that could impact almost 200 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities who rely on our Day and Employment Services.
The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has terminated our MHCP provider enrollment, claiming that Options failed to respond to revalidation requests. We strongly dispute this determination and have submitted a formal appeal with documentation showing that we responded to every request and submitted all required information well within the required timeframes.

We continue to provide services while pursuing our appeal because the people we support deserve stability and continuity. If this decision is not reversed, Options will be unable to continue providing services after July 31, 2026.
This is about more than paperwork. It is about the people we support, their families, residential providers, our dedicated employees, and the communities we serve.
We are committed to fighting for the people who depend on us and will continue to provide updates as this process moves forward.
We ask community members, families, advocates, employers, and elected officials to support efforts to ensure uninterrupted services for the individuals who depend on Options. Please help and contact your state legislators and tell them why Options, Inc. matters to you. Share our story!
