Minnesota: 5 new MNsure enrollment centers offer help in more parts of the state

Via MNsure:

ST. PAUL, MN — Minnesotans who need health insurance for 2024 can easily find free application and enrollment help from a MNsure-certified broker at 23 locations, known as Broker Enrollment Centers. Thanks to new partnerships with insurance agencies, MNsure has added four new enrollment centers in greater Minnesota and one in the east Twin Cities metro area, with all current partners returning.

Most Minnesotans who need health insurance are eligible to enroll in health insurance during MNsure’s upcoming open enrollment period, which begins November 1, 2023, and ends January 15, 2024. Open enrollment is the once-a-year opportunity to compare options, sign up for health coverage, or change plans through MNsure, Minnesota’s official health insurance marketplace. Minnesotans who qualify for health coverage through Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare and members of federally recognized tribes can enroll in health insurance through MNsure at any time throughout the year.

Whether applying for health insurance for the first time, changing plans, or renewing coverage, MNsure recommends consumers take advantage of free, personalized help from MNsure-certified brokers. Working with a broker can make the enrollment process easier and less time-consuming than shopping for health coverage on your own. MNsure-certified brokers provide free help sessions through virtual meetings, over the phone, or in-person.
