MNsure to unveil Easy Compare plans for 2025 during its twelfth open enrollment period

MNsure, Minnesota's health insurance marketplace, begins its twelfth open enrollment period starting November 1.

Minnesotans will have the opportunity to sign up for 2025 health insurance through Minnesota's health insurance marketplace, and this year with new Easy Compare plans to help make buying health insurance simpler.

Shopping, comparing and buying a private health plan can be a challenge. With more plan choices than ever, and over 250 medical and dental plants to choose from for 2025, finding the right plan can take time.

This year, Easy Compare plans are slated to help citizens make an apple-to-apples comparison between different insurance companies.

"With so many parts to consider, buying health insurance can feel complicated," said MNsure CEO Libby Caulum in a recent press release. "MNsure is excited to offer Easy Compare plans for 2025 to help Minnesotans focus on what matters most to them and choose a plan that meets their needs."

Plans can be found at MNsure.org.

A note to remember when looking for options, all Easy Compare plans within the same metal level (gold, silver or bronze) have the same out-of-pocket costs for in-network services, regardless of which insurance company offers the plan.

That note allows consumers to concentrate on a shorter list of differences between plans, including:

Providers – if your preferred doctor is in the plan's networkPremiums – how much you pay the health insurance company each monthPrescription drugs – if your prescription is covered and how much it costs

Points of comparison can help cut through information overload and help find what is most important to the consumer.

MNsure ensures that it will be easier to make sure your doctor is in-network, finding a monthly premium that fits your budget, or choosing a plan with the best coverage for the prescription drug you rely on.

Consumers can identify Easy Compare plans by filtering their plan results, checking the plan name for the words "Easy Compare," or looking for the white tag icon when plan shopping at MNsure.org.
