Read our latest blog to learn about the upcoming restart of renewals for the state’s public programs and the collaborative, equity-focused work we are doing to support Minnesotans during this process so no one faces an avoidable gap in health coverage: mnhealthplans.org/keeping-mi…

At this morning's @ACSCANMN Research and Innovation Forum, Dan Endreson shared how Minnesota’s nonprofit insurers are working to ensure equitable access to care for patients through care coordination, the creation of quality networks, and a focus on caring for the whole person.

The Council recently released 2021 financial results for Minnesota's nonprofit health plans. COVID-19 related costs rose to $1.2 billion in 2021. Medical expenses were also up. For more, click on the following links: lnkd.in/ek9iakUW lnkd.in/e238xjaX

Reinsurance has real impact. Minnesotans in the individual market will be paying between $500 and $4,600 less than they otherwise would pay without reinsurance. mnhealthplans.org/what-the-r…

Thanks to the 153 legislators who voted to extend Minnesota's successful #reinsurance program. Because of you, over 160,000 Minnesotans will see lower rates and a stable marketplace for the next three years. *Rep. Davnie voted yea after the board closed.

By helping to coordinate preventive health care for Minnesotans with complex & chronic physical & mental health conditions, care coordination can reduce the use of the emergency room or readmission to the hospital. @Medica4Me @ucaremn @SanfordHealth @BlueCrossMN @_HealthPartners

Key lesson learned through the Vaccine Equity Partnership with @mn_plans, @mnhealth and @MinnesotaDHS: the value in aligning communication and resources. Read more in Minnesota Physician about how this partnership paves the way for further collaboration: mnphy.com/0222-story-three

Care coordinators with Minnesota’s nonprofit health plans work to improve health outcomes by removing barriers to health that come from food insecurity, unstable housing, low income or unemployment, and a lack of transportation.

Proud to partner with @mnhealth, @MinnesotaDHS and @MnACHP on #vaccineequity. Efforts drove a 55% increase in the number of members living in high social vulnerability index ZIP codes who received at least one dose of the COVID vaccine. More here: health.state.mn.us/diseases/…

From vaccinating health care workers to using buses to reach vulnerable communities, nonprofit health plans are using creative strategies to ensure #vaccineequity. We’ll also highlight why plan employees chose to get vaccinated over the next several weeks. mnhealthplans.org/health-pla…
