Here are a few reminders about coverage through MNsure that are applicable to the COVID-19 peacetime emergency.
Minnesotans with private health insurance through MNsure:
- If your income has decreased because of a reduction in your hours or a job loss, it may make you eligible for advanced premium tax credits (APTC) and cost-sharing reductions (CSR). When you report the change in income, your eligibility for APTC and CSR will be redetermined.
- All four medical insurance companies that sell private health insurance plans on MNsure are waiving co-pays, co-insurance and deductibles related to COVID-19 diagnostic testing. You should contact your insurance company directly for questions about plan benefit details and how best to access care.
Any eligible Minnesotan who has lost health coverage from their employer (including because of a job loss) may qualify for a special enrollment period. Go to our website for a list of qualifying life events for more details on how to apply.
Reminder: if you qualify for Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare (programs for Minnesotans with low income), or are a member of a federally recognized American Indian tribe, you can enroll through MNsure at any time of the year. |
