SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION

keeping your health coverage

Portico navigators can help you renew your health insurance. Your Portico navigator can help you complete your renewal paperwork for Medical Assistance, MinnesotaCare or other health insurance plans. If you have had a change in income, you may qualify for more affordable insurance. Or, if you have moved, or have recently married or had a child, your Portico navigator can help you report these changes.

Preparing for Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare Renewals

Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare renewals have been on pause since 2020, but they will resume in 2023. If you have Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare, it’s important to keep your contact information up to date so you can be reached when it’s time to renew your health insurance. Without your correct contact information, you could have a gap in your health insurance that will affect your ability to access health care. If you’ve moved in the past three years or you will be moving soon, please update your address, phone number and email today.
