MinnesotaCare is a program offered through MNsure. It is designed for people who need financial assistance for health insurance, but do not qualify for Medicaid (Medical Assistance). The income limits for MinnesotaCare are higher than those for the Prepaid Medical Assistance Program (PMAP).
Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP) provide health care coverage to eligible families with children, adults, people with disabilities and seniors.
