MNsure Sets New Record Enrollment

(KNSI) – MNsure reports that over 125,500 Minnesotans have signed up for health coverage through the state’s health insurance marketplace since the start of the current open enrollment period on November 1.

Minnesota’s open enrollment period runs through January 15, 2022. Consumers who select plans by January 15 will have coverage starting February 1, 2022.

125,507 sign-ups for qualified health plans (QHPs) in the first six weeks of open enrollment is a new record for MNsure and represents an increase of more than 10% compared to the same time last year.

Total QHP sign-ups for November 1 – December 15:

Plan year 2022: 125,507
Plan year 2021: 113,385
Plan year 2020: 112,468

Minnesotans shopping for health insurance can use MNsure’s online plan comparison tool to compare health and dental plans and see if they are eligible for advanced premium tax credits (APTC) to lower the cost of monthly premiums available only through MNsure. 58% of MNsure enrollees are accessing APTC thanks to expanded eligibility due to the federal American Rescue Plan Act.

To find free help with an application from a MNsure-certified broker or navigator in their community, Minnesotans can search the Assister Directory. They can also contact MNsure representatives directly through the MNsure Contact Center at 651-539-2099 (855-366-7873 outside the Twin Cities).
