Common questions
- Should I do this on my own, or call MinnAssist?
- You're not alone. In 2026, 184,963 Minnesotans lost Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare at renewal, and 86% of them lost it over paperwork, not because they stopped qualifying (Minnesota DHS renewal data, see our renewal tracker). Don't be one of them. A MinnAssist navigator does the forms with you by phone, in your language, 9 am to 9 pm, 7 days, and follows up until it's done. Free. Call (866) 655-6606.
- My letter says my coverage is ending. What do I do?
- Call us right away. Often you can fix it by sending a renewal or proof, and there are deadlines.
- My application has been pending for a long time. Can you help?
- Yes. We help you find out what's missing and send it.
- Does it cost anything?
- No. Our help is always free, for you and everyone in your family.
