β Minnesota Health Insurance FAQs
Minnesota Health Insurance rules change every season, from enrollment dates to the savings you can get. So below, we answer the top questions about the upcoming open enrollment on MNsure.

ποΈ Enrollment, Costs & Savings
01When is open enrollment for Minnesota Health Insurance?
Minnesota runs its own marketplace, MNsure. Open enrollment runs November 1 through January 15, so enroll early for a January 1 start. Outside that window, however, you need a qualifying life event, such as losing coverage, moving, or having a baby. Our open enrollment health insurance guide also covers each step, and this article explains how to buy coverage after open enrollment.
02Can I get help paying for Minnesota Health Insurance?
Yes, and many households still qualify for federal premium tax credits. In general, you may qualify if your income falls between 138% and 400% of the federal poverty level. However, the extra federal credits from recent years have ended, so households above 400% no longer get help. Also, estimate your income carefully, because you may owe back the full difference at tax time. Next, learn how health insurance subsidies work, or explore lower-cost options if you lose your subsidy.
03Are Minnesota Health Insurance premiums going up?
Regulators approved an average increase of about 17.7% for Minnesota marketplace plans for the coming plan year. Because your current plan may cost noticeably more, comparing plans this season is more important than usual. Before you renew, also read what affects your monthly premium.
π₯ Coverage Choices in Minnesota
04Is my Minnesota insurance company leaving the marketplace?
Yes, UCare is no longer offering marketplace plans, and Medica took over its contracts. Aspirus is new, so compare networks before choosing. If you do nothing, however, you may be moved to a plan that does not fit your doctors or budget. Before switching, compare marketplace plans side by side and also check which doctors are in network.
05Does Minnesota offer Medicaid for low-income adults?
Minnesota covers adults up to 138% of the poverty level through Medical Assistance. MinnesotaCare also offers low-cost coverage for many residents up to 200% of the poverty level. If your income changes, also update your application so you land in the right program. Otherwise, see low-income coverage options without Medicaid if you earn too much to qualify.
06How can a licensed agent help me choose Minnesota Health Insurance?
First, our licensed agents compare plans, check your savings, and confirm your doctors are in network. Best of all, there is no cost for this help. So call 888-730-6031 or request a free quote online today. You can also browse our health insurance FAQ page or meet the Vivna team.
