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). 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.

Will I owe money back at tax time?

If you get MNsure tax credits and your income ends up higher than you estimated, you may. We help you estimate carefully and report changes.

Does it cost anything?

No. Our help is always free, for you and everyone in your family.

AFRAID OF A MISTAKE

Afraid one wrong answer will cost you coverage, or money at tax time? We check it with you.

A wrong answer on a health coverage form can cause a denial or a surprise later. For example, MNsure plan tax credits are settled when you file taxes, so income guesses matter. MinnAssist goes through each answer with you so you can apply with confidence. Call MinnAssist at (866) 655-6606.
