Keeping Minnesotans Covered as Eligibility Renewals Return for Medicaid and MinnesotaCare
Redetermining eligibility for 1.5 million Minnesotans enrolled in state programs – a record number – after a three-year hiatus will be an unprecedented amount of work for the state, counties and tribes who process the renewals, as well as for the health plans who support these enrollees to maintain coverage.
How Care Coordination is Improving Health
Care coordination is a unique benefit which provides highly individualized, holistic care to support members’ health and wellbeing. For patients with complex and chronic conditions, care coordination enables personalized, responsive care to enhance the patient experience, reduce the cost of care, and improve the health of communities throughout Minnesota.
How Health Plans Are Advancing Health Equity
Minnesota’s nonprofit health plans have a renewed focus on equity, creating a number of initiatives that will support Minnesotans in their health care journey. A recent edition of Minnesota Physician highlights several equity programs, along with the people who helped bring those initiatives to life.
Lessons Learned From Vaccine Equity Partnership
One of the key takeaways from the Vaccine Equity Partnership with the State of Minnesota was the value in aligning communication and resources. There is also opportunity to use this partnership to address the social drivers of health to bring about better health outcomes for under-resourced communities, wrote Minnesota Council of Health Plans CEO Lucas Nesse in Minnesota Physician.
A Reminder from your Healthcare Provider: Come back to get caught up
Three years after COVID-19 postponed thousands of well-child visits, it’s important to make sure Minnesota’s children are up to date on vaccines. These resources provide information on the vaccines given to most babies from birth up to 23 months. The materials are available in English, Spanish, Hmong, and Somali in text, audio, and print versions.
Our Mission
The Minnesota Council of Health Plans is an association of nonprofit health insurers whose mission is to get Minnesotans the affordable, equitable and quality-based care they need today and in the future. We have worked for more than 30 years to improve care for everyone.
Lost your insurance card? No problem. Want to find out how much you’ll pay or compare prices for care you need? Can you get care online? Wondering how the quality of the care you get is measured?
Insurance helps you pay medical bills, everything from the entire bill for preventive care that helps keep you well to helping pay for prescriptions and care when you need it. Insurance companies also do a lot of work behind the scenes to help you be well and ensure you get good care.
We all need care—not only medical care when we’re sick or injured—but also preventive care to keep us well. Health insurance is how we join together to pay for care because it’s too expensive to pay for on our own.
