UCare

An anonymous Minnesota resident is suing the state over its decision to drop UCare for public health care programs in a competitive bid process. UCare dropped its own lawsuit with the state this week, wishing to avoid more upheaval for its 370,000 customers who need to pick new plans for next year.

A Minnesota health insurance company plans to drop its legal fight with the state to win back key contracts.

A Minnesota judge has denied an insurance company's attempt to halt public health care registration as it fights to win back a key state contract. Ramsey County District Judge Robert Awsumb denied UCare's request for an injunction Thursday.

State senators are pressing Gov. Mark Dayton to halt a contracting process that would squeeze out a major health insurance company. UCare sued the state last month after being cut out during a bid process for public programs.

UCare is asking a Minnesota judge to halt the state's upcoming sign-up period for public insurance programs as the health coverage provider fights a decision eliminating it from the menu of options.
