5 Contracting ARMHS providers are not required to contract with UCare to provide services to UCare state public program members. Providers must be certified by the Minnesota Department of Human Services, and in each county as an ARMHS provider. Most of the mental health providers in UCare’s network are credentialed ARMHS providers by the state. There are advantages to being a contracted provider with UCare. If you are interested in contracting with UCare, refer to the contacts listed on the last slide.
