Beginning Tuesday, February 16, MNsure is opening a three-month special enrollment period to help any Minnesotan not currently enrolled through MNsure to secure health insurance coverage. It will run through May 17.
This announcement follows the nationwide special enrollment period established by President Biden for those states who use healthcare.gov, the federally run health insurance marketplace.
Note: If you experience a qualifying life event, qualify for Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare, or are a member of a federally recognized American Indian tribe, you can enroll through MNsure at any time of the year.
If you are already enrolled in health insurance for this year, a good first step in using the coverage is finding a doctor who is a primary care physician. This person is usually your go-to if you get sick or hurt.
Here are some things to consider when looking for a doctor:
- Do they accept your health insurance plan? Are they in-network? (Seeing an in-network provider helps keep your costs low.)
- Is their office in a location that’s easy for you to get to?
- Do you prefer to see a male or female doctor?
