Important Changes to North Dakota Medicaid Policy on Behavioral Intervention Rehabilitation Services

On January 1, 2026, North Dakota Health and Human Services enacted service limits capping the number of hours of Behavioral Health Rehabilitation Services that Medicaid-eligible children can receive at 168 units per year.

We are actively assessing the full impact of this policy and determining the best path forward. Our priority is to support families with accurate information, clear guidance, and ongoing communication. We will keep stakeholders informed and share next steps as they become available.
