How Do I Sign Up for Obamacare in Minnesota?
The easiest way to sign up for a health plan under the Affordable Care Act is to go to the online health insurance marketplace for Minnesota. If you're not ready to enroll right now, you can get more information online, over the phone, or in person.
Where's the Minnesota Health Care Exchange?
You can find the health insurance exchange for Minnesota at MNsure. This is where you can learn about the various health insurance options available to you under Obamacare. If you see a plan you like, you'll be guided through the enrollment process online. If you prefer to apply with a paper application, call the MNsure customer service center or contact an assister using the information just below.
You might not see any mention of Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act when you visit the exchange website, but rest assured you’ve landed in the right place. The exchange was established solely for the purpose of informing consumers about the Affordable Care Act and providing plans under the law.
Getting In-Person Help with Enrollment
In Minnesota, if you need help understanding your options for coverage under Obamacare or signing up for a plan, you can get free assistance from a certified “assister.”
An assister may be a navigator, certified application counselor, or certified agent/broker. Navigators or application counselors can explain your options, answer your questions, and help you apply for the plan you choose -- but they can't recommend a specific plan for you. Private insurance agents or brokers, on the other hand, are allowed to offer suggestions about particular plans.
To find a Minnesota certified assister, go to the Find an Assister page at MNsure or call the exchange at the number just below.
Getting Help by Phone
If you want answers over the phone, call the toll-free number for MNsure at 855-366-7873.
Telephone support is available Monday through Friday from 8AM to 6PM (CST).
