ST. PAUL, Minn. – Health insurance premiums are going down an average of three-plus percent next year for those who buy through MNsure, says the program’s CEO Nate Clark.
Starting November 1, Minnesotans looking for health coverage for 2023 can shop and compare plans and save money through MNsure, Minnesota’s health insurance marketplace.
“MNsure projects Minnesota families will save $560 per month, on average, when they enroll in 2023 coverage through MNsure,” said MNsure CEO Nate Clark. “When they buy coverage through MNsure, Minnesotans will have a range of comprehensive health plans to choose from and access to enhanced tax credits that aren’t available anywhere else.”
Minnesotans who need health insurance can sign up during the upcoming open enrollment period, which is the annual opportunity to enroll in health coverage, change plans, and renew coverage. This year, open enrollment begins November 1, 2022, and will run through January 15, 2023.
At least three in four uninsured Minnesotans are eligible for savings that would lower the cost of buying health insurance, either through tax credits for a private health plan through MNsure or coverage through Medical Assistance or Minnesota Care.
Clark says an updated “shop-and-compare” tool will be available by mid-October. For those who need extra help, he says MNsure has a network of a couple thousand assisters around the state — and there’s no charge.
