How to Get New Coverage

Yes, you can get free enrollment help from a MNsure-certified assister in person, over the phone, or by virtual meeting. 

A navigator or broker can walk you through your options, and a broker can give you advice about picking a plan that's right for you. 

MNsure's plan comparison tool can also help you choose a plan that meets your health care needs and your budget.

There are two types of financial help available through MNsure:

• Advanced premium tax credits lower the cost of your premium, which is the amount you pay the insurance company each month to get and stay covered.
• Cost-sharing reductions help lower your other costs, outside of monthly premiums.

The notice you received from MNsure tells you whether you're eligible for financial help, what type(s), and how much.

Our plan comparison tool can also help you estimate the costs of buying and using different health plans.

The date your coverage starts depends on when you select a plan. To avoid a gap in coverage, act early and sign up for a plan as soon as you receive your notice from MNsure.

Private health plans may be new to you. Learn more about the differences between private health plans and Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare and how to use your new coverage in Your Guide to Private Coverage through MNsure.
