Minnesota: @MNsure reminds residents that they still have until 12/22 to #GetCovered!

A reminder from MNsure, Minnesota's ACA exchange:

The Final Countdown; MNsure's Open Enrollment Period Ends December 22 at Midnight

ST. PAUL, Minn.—Minnesotans looking for health insurance coverage starting January 1, 2021, have until 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, December 22 to enroll in coverage through MNsure.org. The federal health insurance exchange, HealthCare.gov, ends its enrollment period today, but Minnesotans have an extra week to enroll through MNsure.

"There is still time to get 2021 health care coverage through MNsure," said MNsure CEO Nate Clark. "Minnesotans have through December 22 to sign up for comprehensive health insurance and access the financial help that makes it more affordable. But, don’t wait! Visit MNsure.org today so you can be sure you’re covered in the new year."

Need help? MNsure's Contact Center will provide extended hours leading up to the deadline:

• Saturday, December 19: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. 
• Sunday, December 20: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. 
• Monday, December 21: 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. 
• Tuesday, December 22: 8 a.m. to midnight

Individuals who have lost or will lose their health insurance coverage (including employer-sponsored coverage or COBRA) may be eligible for special enrollment and can enroll outside of MNsure's annual open enrollment period. Additional information about qualifying life events and important special enrollment dates.

Please note, MNsure's open enrollment deadline does not apply to Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare recipients or members of federally recognized Indian tribes. Minnesotans who qualify for those programs can enroll at any time of the year. More information about renewing eligibility and reporting changes for Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare.

MNsure is Minnesota's health insurance marketplace where individuals and families can shop, compare and choose health insurance coverage that meets their needs. MNsure is the only place you can apply for financial help to lower the cost of your monthly insurance premium and out-of-pocket costs. Most Minnesotans who enroll through MNsure qualify for financial help.
