Yeah that is what I thought! I'm just not sure why they do not list them in the provider manual if it was updated? They are only listing physicians, ARNPs and PAs here....

Subject: NPs to order home care?
This might not be the right group to ask, but you have all been so knowledgeable with so much, thought I would ask if anyone is aware of this? I stumbled across this in my reading about billing but I swear I have it in an email somewhere that NPs are now able to order home care since COVID. Is this just an old and not yet updated provider manual? It says it was revised Feb 10th, 2021 on the website: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.dhs.state.mn.us_main_idcplg-3FIdcService-3DGET-5FDYNAMIC-5FCONVERSION-26RevisionSelectionMethod-3DLatestReleased-26dDocName-3DID-5F008994-23ar&d=DwIGaQ&c=e0qWO0MXWFiQgGWE0UmXdQ&r=q3eoDSo6ivuEt1RVCYTKodyJSjIs9_TpWWqSLDHbYd0&m=ZhH1aCpJladjLFRxaFb81TWIGPxTQpkkUv3MdkQwbec&s=FPB6KSAPMbnm4Xv9DkYLrI_iKhOJkSXgWkeQXWo3hOU&e= <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.dhs.state.mn.us_main_idcplg-3FIdcService-3DGET-5FDYNAMIC-5FCONVERSION-26RevisionSelectionMethod-3DLatestReleased-26dDocName-3DID-5F008994-23ar&d=DwMFaQ&c=e0qWO0MXWFiQgGWE0UmXdQ&r=vCk1YC_UpnJjp2ImokyelTA0jynk374_5-IpTotd5hw&m=JkFKJhTTE2TTL9kELrARSbicr8_Rs238xjKYx8y4f3s&s=m6z3Ce_TUwXrAfoBS2AzpLAg1-NGWeNB8uJc_12thRw&e=>
