Reorganizes and consolidates Medical Assistance provider enrollment requirements into new sections 256B.044 through 256B.0444, moving provisions from section 256B.04, subdivision 21 into dedicated statutes covering enrollment, revalidation, suspensions/terminations, payment withholds, and provider-specific requirements

Requires the commissioner to conduct mandatory site visits at all enrolled provider locations, including pre-enrollment visits, postenrollment visits, unannounced visits prior to first claim payment, visits within 12 months of billing initiation, and visits prior to revalidation

Mandates providers maintain cash reserves of at least $100,000 or ten percent of the previous 12 months' Medicaid payments, whichever is greater, as a condition of enrollment

Establishes mandatory provider termination for specific violations including failure to cooperate with screening, criminal convictions related to Medicare/Medicaid involvement within 10 years, prior termination from Medicare or another state's Medicaid program, and falsification of application information
