Update: MSHO plan application delays

UCare's MSHO and Connect + Medicare plans ended on Dec. 31, 2025.

If you applied for an MSHO plan with another health plan, you may be experiencing a longer than usual delay, as the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) is dealing with a very large number of MSHO applications across all health plans. 

Even with this delay, please know your application will be processed by DHS. In the meantime, you're still covered under your current health plan. Once approved by DHS, your coverage start date will be based on your application date, even if it takes extra time to process.

Medical Assistance (Medicaid) coverage

If you didn't choose a new plan, the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) automatically enrolled you in one of these plans:
