Service Details
Description
MinnesotaCare is a health insurance program for Minnesotans with low incomes.
Enrollees get health care services through a health plan. They can choose their health plan from those serving MinnesotaCare enrollees in their county.
MinnesotaCare is funded by a state tax on Minnesota hospitals and health care providers, federal Basic Health Plan funds, and enrollee premiums.
MinnesotaCare pays for a variety of services such as doctor visits, prescriptions and hospital stays. Coverage may be different for children, pregnant women, and other adults. Also, some services and prescriptions may require prior approval.
The information on this page does not cover all program rules. To find out if you qualify, you must apply to the program.
