Over 150k Minnesotans have signed up for health insurance since November 1
ST. PAUL, Minn.—Following last year’s incredible enrollment success, MNsure is pleased to report yet another new record for health insurance sign-ups in Minnesota.
Between November 1 and the first deadline (December 18), 151,098 Minnesotans used MNsure.org to sign up for qualified health plans. This represents a 14% increase in private health plan sign-ups compared to the same time last year.
This is excellent news, however, as happens every year with MNsure, it comes with a big caveat.
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesotans who need health insurance have just one week left to enroll in a full year of coverage through MNsure, Minnesota’s official health insurance marketplace.
Wednesday, December 18, is the deadline to enroll for coverage starting January 1. For Minnesotans who sign up December 19 – January 15, 2025, coverage will start on February 1 instead.
“Shopping for a health insurance plan at MNsure.org is the best way to ensure you get all the savings you’re eligible for and high-quality, comprehensive coverage for 2025,”said MNsure CEO Libby Caulum. “We’re here to serve Minnesotans. Plans sold elsewhere may not cover the same health benefits or include the important consumer protections that are guaranteed with all plans sold through the MNsure marketplace.”
ST. PAUL, Minn.—Minnesotans who need health insurance for 2025 can get an early start on health plan shopping through MNsure. Consumers can go to MNsure.org to preview 2025 health plans and get a free and anonymous cost estimate ahead of MNsure’s annual open enrollment period, beginning November 1.
“With just three key pieces of information — where you live, who is in your household, and your total household income — you can get an immediate estimate of how much money you could save in 2025 by enrolling through MNsure,” said MNsure CEO Libby Caulum. “We estimate eligible Minnesota families will save an average of $561 per month (over $6,700/year) on private health plans purchased through MNsure.”
Governor Tim Walz today announced that a record number of Minnesotans signed up for private health insurance plans using MNsure, Minnesota’s official health insurance marketplace. At the close of MNsure’s annual open enrollment period on January 15, 146,445 people had successfully signed up for private health plans for 2024.
It's important to note that the way Minnesota reports "signups" has consistently been a bit higher than what the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) states in their official Open Enrollment Reports. I've never been quite sure whether MNsure lumps in small group market QHPs (SHOP plans) or if it's just some weird clerical methodology issue, but year after year, the CMS report is always around 8-9% lower than what MNsure reports.
For instance, last year, MNsure reported their official QHP enrollment total as 129,537 people...but CMS reported it as just 118,431 (8.6% lower).
Take the first step towards your health goals and start the new year off right by signing up for health insurance through MNsure, Minnesota’s official health insurance marketplace. January 15, 2024, is the last day of MNsure’s open enrollment period and the final deadline to enroll in medical and dental coverage that begins on February 1.
Comprehensive health insurance helps you get the health care you need throughout the year and provides financial protection from unexpected injury or illness. When you buy a plan through MNsure, you can be sure you’re getting quality, comprehensive insurance and not a “junk plan” that provides little or no coverage when you need it most. That’s because every plan sold through MNsure is guaranteed to cover essential health benefits including prescription drugs, emergency services, and hospitalization.
