OUR SERVICE

Recuperative care

Recuperative care services are available to eligible Minnesota Health Care Programs
(MHCP) members experiencing homelessness to help prevent hospitalizations; or
provide medical care and support services when they are unable to recover from a
physical illness when living in a shelter or they are otherwise unhoused. MHCP
members receive recuperative care services when they don’t need to be hospitalized
or remain hospitalized, or don’t meet severity of illness for other levels of care.
