About The Minnesota Council of Health Plans
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 create a space where our member health plans — including Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, HealthPartners, Hennepin Health, Medica, Sanford Health Plan and UCare — work collaboratively to bring wellness within reach for everyone in Minnesota.
How We Work
We work in partnership with a variety of stakeholders, including people who deliver care (providers, hospitals and health systems), people who need care (children, adults and families across Minnesota) and people who work to make care better (legislators, regulators, state health officials and others) to promote policies and processes that make health care more effective for everyone.
Through advocacy, education and legislative efforts, we take practical action today to make better health possible for generations of Minnesotans to come.
We use and develop data to inform public policy, improve care and help manage expensive medical bills on behalf of all Minnesotans.
We bring Minnesota’s nonprofit health plans together to focus on finding opportunities to make the health care system work better because we work here, live here and our companies’ financial resources are dedicated to care for our community.
We understand that health care is deeply personal, urgent and expensive. Thus, we know that having health insurance coverage helps spread out the cost of expensive health care, helping people gain access to care that they otherwise couldn’t afford.
