Housing Stabilization Services (HSS) is a Medical Assistance benefit to help people with disabilities and seniors find and keep housing. Housing stabilization services are a state plan (not waiver) Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS).
Eligibility as a Housing Stabilization Services provider:
Before rendering services to UnitedHealthcare Community Plan members, you’ll need to enroll or be already registered as a housing stabilization services (HSS) provider with the Department of Human Services Minnesota Health Care Programs (DHS MHCP). For enrollment information visit Minnesota Provider Screening and Enrollment (MPSE) portal .
Member Eligibility for Housing Stabilization Services:
To identify if a member is eligible for the HSS benefits refer to Housing Stabilization Services.
Billing Housing Stabilization Services:
Once you are registered with DHS MHCP as an HSS provider, your claims will be eligible for reimbursement. Please note you don’t need a UnitedHealthcare Community Plan contract to provide HSS services and submit claims. Housing stabilization services agencies must follow general DHS MHCP billing policies and guidelines Housing Stabilization Services (state.mn.us). Claims for HSS are considered fee for service, with the rates and diagnoses established by DHS MHCP.
Electronic claims submission:
You may submit claims by electronic data interchange (EDI) for more information visit https://www.uhcprovider.com/en/resource-library/edi.html. Our payer ID is 87726. We follow CMS National Uniform Claim Committee (NUCC) and National Uniform Billing Committee (NUBC) guidelines for HCFA 1500 and UB-04 forms.
Registering for the UnitedHealthcare Portal:
The UnitedHealthcare Provider Portal has more than 60 online tools — including claims submission, eligibility, prior authorization, referrals and more.
Because HSS providers don’t need to contract with UnitedHealthcare, the access to our portal requires provider validation, the first claim should be a paper claim along with a copy of your W9 mail to UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, P.O. Box 5270, Kingston, NY 12402-5270. Once UnitedHealthcare receives the paper claim, the Provider Validation team will create a provider record and process the claim; when you receive the Provider Remit Advice you will know your record has been created, please allow 30 days for this process. If you have questions you can reach to the Provider Validation Team at 844-368-5890, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. CT, Monday-Friday.
After the initial paper claim has been processed, Housing Stabilization providers will first create the One Healthcare ID and register for access to the UnitedHealthcare Provider Portal here. It is important to note that:
Electronic payment solution: Optum Pay™
UnitedHealthcare Community Plan has launched the replacement of paper checks with electronic payments and will no longer be sending paper checks for health care professional payment. You will have the option of signing up for Automated Clearing House (ACH)/ direct deposit, our preferred method of payment, or to receive a Virtual Card payment (Virtual Card). The only alternative to a Virtual Card is direct deposit. Both options allow you to get paid quickly and securely.
