What is MNsure?

MNsure is not an insurance company. MNsure is an online marketplace/tool where Minnesotans can find, compare, and enroll in health coverage plans, and is where to go to determine eligibility for Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare.

If you do not qualify for Medical Assistance, or MinnesotaCare, you may qualify for an Advanced Premium Tax Credit (APTC) to use on a Qualified Health Plan (QHP). This is a tax credit to help individuals afford health insurance coverage purchased only through the MNsure marketplace (QHPs) with reduced monthly health insurance premiums.

A Cost Sharing Reduction is a discount that lowers the amount you have to pay out-of-pocket for deductibles, co-insurance and co-payments. You may be eligible for cost sharing reduction if:

  • You get health insurance through MNsure.
  • You are income eligible.
  • You choose a health plan from the Silver plan category.

Federally recognized tribal members may qualify for additional cost sharing benefits.

View MNsure’s Income Guidelines Chart to check your income eligibility.

When Can I enroll?

Minnesota Medical Assistance, MinnesotaCare, and Native American enrollments are open year round.

For those who qualify for a QHP Minnesota Open Enrollment takes place in late fall/early winter each year. Visit the MNsure website for more information on Open Enrollment dates.

Outside of Open Enrollment, Special Enrollment is available to those individuals with a qualifying life event. Visit the MNsure website for more information on qualifying life events.
