MNsure Enrollments, Renewals Approach 8,000
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Minnesota's health insurance exchange says it has enrolled nearly 8,000 Minnesotans in health plans in the first week of open enrollment this fall.
MNsure says over 2,550 Minnesotans have used the exchange to enroll in new coverage or renew their coverage in private health plans since last Saturday.
More than 5,300 others signed up for the public Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare programs for lower-income people.
That brings total enrollments and renewals via MNsure since the beginning of open enrollment to about 7,900.
