Want to get healthy or stay well in 2023?

Getting covered ensures that you can access the health care you need throughout the year, putting you one step closer to achieving your new year's health and wellness goals. All plans sold through MNsure are guaranteed to cover a list of essential health benefits that includes prescription drugs, emergency services, and preventive care like flu shots and cancer screenings.

Hoping to start a family in 2023? Behavioral health treatment, chronic disease management, and maternity and newborn care are all on the list of covered benefits. Some plans cover more services.

MNsure enrollees are expected to save an average $6,700 (or $560/ month) on health insurance this year. That's because most Minnesotans, including middle-income families, qualify for discounts that lower the cost of monthly premiums. Access to these savings is only available through MNsure.
