Medical Assistance (MA) in Minnesota: How to Keep Your Coverage Active
If you have Medical Assistance (MA), it’s important to take a few simple steps to make sure your insurance stays active so there are no interruptions in your therapy.
We’ve outlined exactly what you need to do below.
The 4 Most Important Things to Do
1. Keep Your Contact Information Updated
Medical Assistance sends all important updates by mail. If your address is not current, you may miss important notices and lose coverage.
Update your information: https://www.mnsure.org
Learn more:
https://mn.gov/dhs/people-we-serve/adults/health-care/health-care-programs/programs-and-services/keep-ma.jsp
2. Watch Your Mail Carefully
You will receive mail from Medical Assistance about your coverage.
This may include:
-
Renewal forms
-
Requests for more information
-
Notices about changes to your plan
Learn about renewals:
https://mn.gov/dhs/health-care/renew/
Do not ignore these notices. Even if you still qualify, your coverage can end if you do not respond.
3. Complete Your Renewal On Time
Most people need to renew their MA coverage every year.
Some clients will be automatically renewed, but others will need to:
-
Fill out forms
-
Submit income or household information
-
Return documents by a deadline
If you get a renewal packet, complete it as soon as possible.
4. Be Aware of Upcoming Changes
New Medicaid rules will impact how often some people need to renew.
-
Some adults may need to renew every 6 months instead of yearly
-
You will be notified if this applies to you
