MNsure’s eighth open enrollment period will be Sunday, November 1, through Tuesday, December 22.
That is seven days longer than the federal open enrollment period, giving Minnesotans an extra week to enroll in 2021 health care coverage during the current public health crisis.
If you enroll by December 22, you will have coverage on January 1, 2021.
"With COVID-19 still very much with us and the flu season ahead, it's especially critical that Minnesotans have health care coverage for a full 12 months," said MNsure CEO Nate Clark.
You will be able to view and compare 2021 plans in mid-October to get prepared to enroll.

Currently enrolled in a private health plan through MNsure? Since the 2021 renewal process is coming up soon, it's important to update your MNsure account if any of your information changes. That could include a new address, changes to your income or additions to your family.
You need to report any changes that affect your enrollment or your eligibility for financial help within 30 days of the change.
Why?
- The amount of financial help you qualify for could go up or down
- You could qualify to switch plans
- Your plan might not be available if you have moved to a different area
- So that notices and forms are mailed to the correct address
