Application Information:

Applying online using the MnSure website is the recommended way for applying for a Minnesota Health Care Program (Medical Assistance, MinnesotaCare and Advanced Premium Tax Credits).

You are eligible if you:

  • Live in Minnesota.
  • Meet the income limits.
  • Lack other health insurance options. If your job offers you health insurance, you may still qualify if the insurance from your job is too expensive for you.
