The Minnesota Benefit Addendum is an amendment to an employer’s group health plan that allows employees to receive additional coverage benefits in the state of Minnesota. This addendum is designed to supplement the existing plan and provide employees with a greater level of protection in the event of an illness or injury. It covers a variety of benefits, such as hospitalization, mental health services, prescription drugs, vision care, and more. There are three types of Minnesota Benefit Addendum: Essential Health Benefits, Minnesota Basic Health Plan, and Minnesota Medical Assistance. Essential Health Benefits are those required by the federal government, while Minnesota Basic Health Plan and Minnesota Medical Assistance provide additional coverage. All three of these addenda are designed to supplement the existing group health plan, allowing employers to offer their employees a greater level of protection.
