During its meeting on July 31, MNsure’s board of directors approved an increase in the navigator per-enrollee payment from $70 to $100. The increase applies to either a successful determination of eligibility for a qualified health plan (QHP) or a successful enrollment into a QHP. This will bring payments for helping MNsure’s private plan consumers into alignment with payments for public program consumers.

“We are happy the board took this important step to support MNsure’s navigator partners financially and ensure there is equitable payment for helping all Minnesotans,” said MNsure CEO Libby Caulum.

Rate changes must be published in the State Register before they can take effect. We anticipate that the new rate will take effect for activity completed on or after September 1, 2024, with navigator agencies seeing the increase when payments for September are issued in November 2024.
