Our Recuperative Care program serves individuals recovering from illness or injury who lack stable housing and need a safe environment to heal. 

Referrals can be made by county case managers, hospitals, clinics, or social workers. You may also contact us directly for guidance. 

We provide person-centered care, meaning every service is tailored to the individual’s needs, goals, and preferences. 

Adam's Place works with individuals seeking recuperative care services through Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP), subject to program eligibility, enrollment, and coverage verification.

For MHCP-covered recuperative care services, prior authorization through Acentra Health is required. Our admissions team can help verify coverage requirements and coordinate the necessary authorization process.

Please contact us to discuss insurance eligibility and available payment options.

Getting started is simple. Contact our admissions team or have your hospital, healthcare provider, social worker, or case manager submit a referral.

Our team will review your medical and support needs, verify eligibility, gather necessary documentation, and coordinate the intake process.

When applicable, we will also coordinate prior authorization through Acentra Health before confirming admission arrangements.

Once admission requirements are satisfied and a bed is available, our team will coordinate your arrival and begin the care process.

Yes, our team receives specialized training to support clients with complex medical and behavioral needs while ensuring safety and dignity. 

Acentra Health is the organization responsible for reviewing prior authorization requests for certain healthcare services covered by Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP).

Effective August 1, 2026, prior authorization is required for MHCP-covered recuperative care services. This process helps determine whether an individual meets the medical necessity requirements for recuperative care.

Our admissions team works with referring healthcare providers to gather the required documentation and coordinate the authorization process.

Acentra Health generally takes initial action on standard prior authorization requests within five business days after receiving the request.

The request may be approved, denied, or placed on hold if additional information is needed. Requests requiring additional documentation may take longer.

We encourage hospitals, discharge planners, and referral sources to submit complete referral information as early as possible to help prevent unnecessary delays.

To evaluate eligibility and coordinate prior authorization, our admissions team may request the following:

• Patient demographic and contact information

• Medical history and current diagnosis

• Hospital discharge summary or relevant clinical records

• Documentation supporting the medical necessity for recuperative care

• Current medications and treatment needs

• Insurance or Medical Assistance information

• Housing status and discharge planning needs

• Other supporting documents, as applicable

Additional documentation may be required depending on the individual's medical condition, referral circumstances, and authorization requirements.

Our team will coordinate with the referring provider to identify the necessary documents.

For MHCP-covered recuperative care services, prior authorization is required. Admission arrangements depend on clinical eligibility, bed availability, applicable payer requirements, and authorization status.

Our admissions team will work with the referral source to coordinate the appropriate admission date and explain any outstanding requirements.

Please contact our team before arranging transportation or discharge to Adam's Place.

If Acentra Health denies a prior authorization request, our team will review the determination and coordinate with the referring healthcare provider to discuss available next steps.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include submitting additional clinical information, pursuing an applicable reconsideration or appeal, or exploring alternative care arrangements.

An authorization denial does not automatically mean that the individual does not need support; it means the request was not approved under the applicable coverage requirements.

The length of stay depends on the individual's medical needs, recovery progress, eligibility, and authorized coverage.

For MHCP-covered services, Acentra Health determines the number of days approved through the prior authorization process.

If additional recuperative care is medically necessary beyond the approved period, a new authorization request must be submitted.

Our team works with healthcare providers and community partners to support recovery and coordinate safe discharge planning.
